Hi Brad – it sounds like you have some very interesting applications in mind. We’d love to hear more about them, as we may be able to offer more concrete advice.
In general, spreading very light pressure, as with a balloon, across a large area of the sensor in SCAN_DETAIL_HIGH mode will give you a lower signal-to-noise ratio.
To get better results, try switching to SCAN_DETAIL_MEDIUM mode, applying more pressure, or attaching elastic bumps of some sort under larger objects to concentrate the force in a few locations. SCAN_DETAIL_MEDIUM mode will also offer the most linear force response. We primarily provide SCAN_DETAIL_HIGH for detecting the shape of object boundaries, and for resolving very small objects.
