Newbie Question Pressure Sensor + LEDs - LightSaber

[[email protected]]

This is my first post and I'm pretty new at this, so take it easy on
me.

Need to hook up an impact/pressure senor to Multicolor LEDs. I need to
be able display a particular color LED to it's corresponding impact/
pressure.

For example. If high impact is exerted a red LED will be lit if low
impact is exerted a white LED would be lit.

Could any one point me in the right direction or maybe a rough mock up
diagram. I'm also looking for anything that might implement such a
design. The only things i can think of are the light up shoes (LA Gear
Lights) or a LightSaber that flahses when it comes in contact with
anything.

Any ideas will help. Thanks in advance.

I can only spare a short note at the moment.....

The Easy:
Use a bunch of comparators. (Window comparator circuits or other.)

The Hard: (But easy if this isn't new..)
Program a microcontroller with an internal A/D converter

I would prefer to go the easy way. How would one go about adding lets
say an Accelerometer to the mix?
