Sparkfun FlexiForce Pressure Sensor - 25lbs.

The FlexiForce Pressure Sensor - 25lbs from Sparkfun is a piezoresistive force sensor developed by Tekscan. This state-of-the-art sensor transforms physical pressure into digital resistance. The more pressure applied, the lower the sensor's resistance, shifting from infinite to approximately 300k. While the sensor is both thin and flexible, it's important to note that flexing does not alter its resistance. Instead, resistance changes only when pressure is applied to the round area at the end of the sensor. The FlexiForce Pressure Sensor can serve various functions, such as a presence sensor (detecting if someone is standing), a weight sensor, or a pressure sensor for impact testing. With its versatile uses, this sensor is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.Measuring approximately 21.59cm in length, the sensor is designed with a 2.54mm spaced, reinforced, breadboard-friendly connector for easy integration into your projects. It's compact and lightweight, ensuring it doesn't add unnecessary bulk to your designs.This particular model of the sensor is capable of detecting pressure ranging from 0 to 11.34kg. With this broad range, the FlexiForce Pressure Sensor can accurately measure varying degrees of pressure, making it a reliable choice for precise applications.For additional details about the sensor's specifications and usage, refer to the datasheet (ZFLEX A201-25), the user manual, the FlexiForce Pressure Sensor Quick Start Guide, the FlexiForce Homepage, or the Bildr Tutorial.
