Answering my own post...
I mean the original concept using the audio interface is overcomplicated. The
resistive idea has the merit of dramatic simplification but I wonder at the
consistency of the resistive elements and whether you would get a (reasonably)
linear output of if it would tend to behave more like a low quality switch.
OK, I misunderstood at first, as I guess you thought I might have done.
Yes I'm thinking that could be a problem, but it's worth finding out.
Most of the conductive rubber that is sold is intended for electrostatic
shielding, so linearity and consistency probably aren't a priority in
manufacturing. I'm currently sending emails to manufacturers to see if
they can send me some samples.
