Wonder if this problem would be reduced by some mechanism of incurring cost on job positions that advertise for more requirements. (A heavy handed approach would be to charge an additional fee/tax if you require university educated persons for a position not requiring one)

Hopefully it has at least a checksum

New comment by mofosyne in "Strain gauge made out of PCB"

mofosyne — Sun, 11 May 2025 04:14:19 +0000

I'm sure there's a general rule of thumb where this approach works best as an approximation (such as a simple on/off switch)... which may give us opportunities to simplify the BOM list further with cheaper parts at cost to accuracy which wouldn't apply to PCB anyway.

Where I mostly seen this approach is with 3D printers where we just want to know if the nozzle is touching the print base.

But if we can quantify the general worse case variation between most PCBs then maybe we can create a recommended strain sensor element with a semi-quantified level of accuracy so it's not just an on/off sense.
