Touch or capacitive sensor to monitor wearing a splint
Hi All
I wonder whether anyone has tips on how to hook up a sensor to monitor whether an object is being worn? I would like to add it to the MMC to monitor whether an orthopaedic splint is being worn.
Many thanks
Matt

That might be tough. You could just use the ambient light sensor -> if dark the splint is on.
Otherwise you can try stuff like this:
Thanks Laura. Apologies for the delay in replying. I have identified a sensor similar to the one you suggested (https://uk.farnell.com/sensor-solutions-te-connectivity/11026911-00/piezoelectric-sensor-voltage-200mv/dp/2717444?st=piezoelectric sensor).
I would like to hook it up to the MMC and have it read the sensor every 1 min with the data stored on the board to be downloaded at a later date. I realise this is probably basic stuff but am struggling to understand the tutorials. Do I need to build my own app or can I modify the current software in meta base?
Hey mgardiner, you can modify the metabase or build your own app. Whatever you prefer.
