[WIP] Homemade PIU Pad Part 1 | Overview & Sensor Design [READ DESC]

=== PLEASE READ | AUGUST 2019 UPDATE===
As of recently this project is unfortunately dead! Everything showcased in this video *still functions*, and if you have the knowledge to put together the frame and electronics, you can make something that functions well, but I messed up the frame and my initial construction was not great. However, I'm working on a new design! Hopefully I should be able to showcase that soon. You can keep up to date with the progress in my Discord server! Scroll down for the link.

Keep in mind this isn't a tutorial and you'll need a basic understanding of how it works/be able to infer how to assemble some things based off images and footage. It's not too difficult, considering it's one of my first ever projects of this scale, but I'll provide what i can to make it simpler for others who may want to follow this design. Oh, and basic electronics knowledge (Arduino/Teensy setup, as well as how to use a breadboard) is also required!

- Wiring diagram! -
Link removed because it's unnecessary - simply connect one side to GND and the other to an analog pin, and have the code set to INPUT_PULLUP - no need for adding resistors!

- STL files for 3D printing coming soon! -

This pad is still a very heavy work in progress!
