Re: Measuring resistance using analog breakout

I'd probably put a resistor in series with your sensor, hook one end up to +5 and one to GND, and measure the voltage (sig) between the two resistors. That voltage should change as the voltage of your sensor changes.

But there are a lot of folks around these forums who know more about electronics than I do... if you post the range of resistances you expect from your sensor, they might have other suggestions.
