@gbrnt If you leave it for 8 hours, does it level out at a certain point?

@gbrnt I'm just wondering if the issue has to do with it being a brand new sensor and if you cycled it a few hundred times it might mellow out.

@gbrnt How did you get the pressure sensor to behave?

@gbrnt Ah, ok! Sometimes it's hard to fault old mechanical ways.

@gbrnt What were you using for physical switches?

Keeping in mind I'm not a musician (one of the skills I've always wanted but could never quite wrap my head around), but I'm imagining having your fingers on the buttons then pushing them in would be a more intuitive experience than hovering your fingers over the buttons and tapping.

@gbrnt Random trivia, one of my early 3d printer projects was trying to replace the home switches with cherry switches.

I was successful, but what I learned is that while cherry switches are very nice keyboard switches, they make terrible limit switches so I returned to standard limit switches.

I know it sounds sort of crazy, like "why would anyone even try that?" but my first printer wasn't very good and playing with it trying to improve the prints was a lot of fun

@gbrnt Here's a photo of the test at the time. Doesn't look great but it did work, it just wasn't really beneficial. I was doing some serious calibrations on this printer, and used the repeatability of the calibration as a benchmark, and these were not repeatable.

@gbrnt Kinda looks the part too, which is neat.
