After a while of looking at it, this seems far too complicated! There have to be simpler, cheaper, and more accurate solutions. I started searching for some ICs that maybe can do the trick but didn't found any good other than the links I posted above. But then Henrik found something great: The LDC1314 | After a while of looking at it, this seems far too complicated! There have to be simpler, cheaper, and more accurate solutions.

As you may see the graph shows when the button is pressed and how far it is pressed. But the result is not very accurate and there is a lot of interference. This is because of the high gain I set.

- | So there will be an attempt 4. There I will test out the bigger brother of the LDC1314. The LDC1614. It has the same pinout and overall package, so it will be an in-place replacement. The big advantage is the 28-bit resolution. Hopefully, there is no gain needed then. | + | So there will be an attempt 4. There I will test out the bigger brother of the LDC1314: The LDC1614.
