I have a situation where a RPi is running a rotary actuator which occasionally jams due to incorrect part orientation feeding into it. When jammed it bends expensive parts of the machine. I need an inline compression sensor so I can shut off the actuator if the sensor reading is to high (jam) to prevent the destruction of the machine. I'm looking at values in the range of 0-200 kg (not quite sure yet, would have to have the sensor on and see what the values of a jam would output).
I'm thinking along the lines of this item, which is threaded on both ends allowing it to be put inline with the actuator. https://www.amazon.com/DYMH-103-Tension ... F4DLW&th=1. The issue is I know little about interfacing this type of sensor with the Pi. Anyone have any experience or ideas regarding this or other sensors? Google doesn't seem to provide much help.
Thanks,
