resistance range for picoboard?
Hi,
Does anyone know what resistance range is detectable from the picoboard alligator clips? I would like to interface a bend sensor that varies from 25K to 125K ohms and wondered if the board will report that.
Thanks!

They have a 10k pull up to 5V, your sensor goes from the bottom of the 10K to 0V (by the clips) to form a potential divider. The picoboard then uses an ADC on the centre junction voltage.
So you should be able to get something useful from your sensor.
