* Q: Does changing the code make this more sensitive?
=== FYI other sensors ===I have some of them here if you want to try them. ==== flex sensor ====
spectra symbol flex sensor [https://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&krypto=6pWdQhy2AZPZ2sD8W5xEl6aJV6WqDHEGqOKNa%2FdOSS9%2BxO5uYYYPAp%2FlelrGLAWKNyXGozz0WUJ%2B%0D%0APBDIeyVBNlu11KbfyDwz&ddkey=CookieLogon]
==== home made strain gauge ====
A poor man's flex sensor. See page 32 in Forest Mims "Electronic Sensor Circuits & Projects" to make your own.
==== force / pressure sensor ====
Force Sensing Resistor (FSR)

==== IR rangefinders ====
Sharp GP2D12 INFRA-RED RANGER
One of many Sharp Rangers, with different effective ranges [http://www.acroname.com/robotics/parts/sharp_guide.pdf comparison guide]
==== Ultrasonic rangefinders ====

range of four meters

=== can we sample sound? ===
