Hi I am completely new to micro controllers and raspberry pi but I was wondering if it is possible to connect a FSLP to a Raspberry Pi Pico W and log analog numbers into a Text File (or send it via Wifi to another PC).
I am very interested in this FSLP: https://core-electronics.com.au/force-sensing-linear-potentiometer-4-0-0-4-strip-customizable-length.html
This is a Tutorial for arduino but I can´t tell if a raspberry pi pico would also work.
It would be very nice if someone could explain to me how it is done or why it is not possible!
Thanks for you time I really appreciate it!

Please note that the earlier answer was completely incorrect.
A tutorial on using analog inputs with the Pico and Pico W is here:
A quick look at the example for the FSLP library suggests it will work with the Pi with minimal modifications. That code follows the connection diagram on the product page exactly (although it is not clear why D2 needs to be analog) and it should be possible to simply change the pin assignment for the four control lines to corresponding (ie, analog or digital) pins on the Pico.
There is a tutorial that focuses on the Pico analog inputs with the Arduino IDE here:
