how to measure the weight of pushing on every pedal of a bicycle? Answered

A Let's Make search for, "force sensor", returns some relevant instructables, I think.

From just looking at the pictures, we can see a lot of these are some kind of project that involve, what I think is, the specific FSR sensor you are writing about.

It kind of looks like there are exactly two of those, a circle shaped one, and a larger square shaped one. I have also seen these in Adafruit.com's pages, here

and here,

There may be other vendors selling the exact same same thing.

I could not help noticing, on Adafruit's page for the larger square one, this text in the description,

FSRs are basically a resistor that changes its resistive value (in ohms
Ω) depending on how much its pressed. These sensors are fairly low cost,
and easy to use but they're rarely accurate. They also vary some from
sensor to sensor perhaps 10%. So basically when you use FSRs you should
only expect to get ranges of response. While FSRs can detect weight,
they're a bad choice for detecting exactly how many pounds of weight are
on them.

If I have not already mentioned it, the grown up version of this FSR thing is a device called a "load cell"

These might be expensive though, or hard to find, or both.

So what alternatives are left?

I thought that 'ible by MechEngineerMike, was rather clever.

https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Force-...

What he has built is essentially a steel spring connected to a slider potentiometer, and he is using an Arduino Uno to measure the position of the potentiometer. So this is kind of old school (observing Hooke's law in an actual steel spring) and new school (Arduino plus LCD display) at the same time.

Also there are stories of people who have hacked their bathroom scale, for to get data from it, into some other device. It seems like hackaday.com had a few tutorials, of this kind.

I dunno. Are there inexpensive and accurate, load cells out there? It would be weird if the cheapest way to do this was by hacking a bathroom scale.

those Sensors might be usable even if they are too low for the force on the pedals. Secure a 10 to 1 lever to the crankset, to the sensor and multiply the reading by 10. This will get you a ballpark number. Some backpressure on the trailing pedal may add some force to the crankset, but I think this will be slight.

I keep telling ya, force is measured in newtons (N), not kilograms (kg).

W = m*g

which is essentially just a special case of F = m*a.

Also be careful with that acronym, FSR. In the context of your question, it stands for, "force sensitive resistor"

However, if you listen to nerdcore hip-hop, then FSR stands for, "Futuristic Sex Robotz". Their single, "Snakes on a Plane", based on the movie with the same name, has some clever lyrics, and a surprisingly sick beat. But I'm not going to link to FSR, because their songs contain a lot of profanity. Thus FSR is NSFW. Looking them up is left as an exercise for the interested reader.

sometimes on a hill, a rider will stand on pedals, putting their whole weight on 1.

Deleting the original question and answers won't get you better ideas.

We may be oldish but the memory still works.

Not worth repeating what I said before

What was wrong with the answer you got yesterday ?
