    Thanks for suggesting, but I think this would require too current or would provide a very limited resolution due to the low value of the resistance to measure.

    I think I should put some sort of amplifier in the middle, and this is a schema I'm looking for.

    Regards

    Why will it take too much current? if you put a 200 ohm resistor in series with the 330 ohm sensor, the total is 530 ohms, less than 10mA of current at 5V.
    Unless you are battery-powered, that shouldn't be too much.

    You should be able to get plenty of resolution with this arrangement.
