The idea is a bat that “screeches” at two different frequencies depending on how you pet him (yes, him.). The circular softpot is a good tool to use to change resistance depending on the location of your finger/interaction. The resistance changes from 0 to 10k as you go around the wheel.
There is little documentation on how this specific form of softpot functions (like what to use in the map function when assigning values of potentiometer readings to positions on the pot), but there’s more stuff on linear flex sensor monitors (FSMs) and softpots. Some of the documentation is translatable. The next steps will be defining what cases I want:
1.) Bat (we should name him) will screech in more pleasant frequency when user pets him under his chin.
2.) When not petting in the “sweet spot” (much like that of a cat), will the bat screech at all? Will it screech at a lower frequency everywhere else? Should it be silent when there is not interaction?
