You'll find here the KiCad projects for the different sensor packs.
- BYTE_Sensors.pretty: Library folder for all the KiCad footprints used in the sensor pack development.
- BYTEFSR: First sensor pack used, only FSR for X/Y axis. - BYTEBite: First sensor pack used, only FSR also for the bite. - BYTE_Capacitive: Sensor intended to be used as capacitive feedback for FSR shift error. - ...more to come.
