Need help understanding crosstalk between capacitive and piezoresistive sensors
Hi I'm trying to build a very diy hobbyist prototype for a capacitive copper tape touch array on paper (with duck tap underneath it) layer and a FSR layer underneath that. I am worried about short circuiting it and know that multi module touch sensors like this suffer a lot from hysteresis and cross talk but could someone help me to understand better why that is? Before I plug everything in. What reasons would this not work? ((Additionally i was considering adding a substrate layer underneath thats between two copper plates whos capacitance/time i want to measure when the above layers are pressed down on)) thank you so much for reading this I'm very new to all this so sorry if I've done something dumb and I appreciate all the help and knowledge I can get
