INTRODUCTION
This is a piezoresistive force sensor. The harder you press, the
lower the sensor's resistance. Pressing hard, the resistance changes
from infinite to ~50k. The sensor itself is thin and flexible,
but the resistance does not change while being flexed. Resistance
changes only when pressure is applied to the round area at the end of
the sensor. This sensor is commonly used as a presence sensor (someone
standing),
weight sensor, pressure sensor (impact testing), etc.
The overall length is about 2.25". The sensor comes with a 0.1"
spaced, reinforced, breadboard friendly connector.This sensor ranges
from 0 to 25lbs of pressure.
