I'm not really an electronics person, but wanted to build something to help the kids I teach. I'm trying to be as clear as possible but might not be using the right words.
What I want is this:
- a sensor (pressure/force) [small & lightweight, can measure up to 60 lbs - something like this http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8685 ]
- can adjust the sensitivity [ for a light weight kid, it's easier to trigger, a heavier kid, it's harder]
- an output (speaker) that can produce one of six noises (probably animal sounds] [and the kid can select which noise]
My questions are: - is this as simple/easy as it sounds? If not, what are the challenging aspects of it? - what would be a fair price range for someone to design and /or build it for me?

Hello,
I'm not really an electronics person, but wanted to build something to help the kids I teach. I'm trying to be as clear as possible but might not be using the right words.
What I want is this:
- a sensor (pressure/force)
[small & lightweight, can measure up to 60 lbs - something like this

]
- can adjust the sensitivity
[ for a light weight kid, it's easier to trigger, a heavier kid, it's harder]
- an output (speaker) that can produce one of six noises (probably animal sounds]
[and the kid can select which noise]
My questions are:
- is this as simple/easy as it sounds? If not, what are the challenging aspects of it?
- what would be a fair price range for someone to design and /or build it for me?
Thanks in advance.
