Pulse Sensor FSR Module

Description

• This is a force sensitive resistor with a round, 0.5″ diameter, sensing area.
• This FSR will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to
• the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower the resistance. When no pressure is
• being applied to the FSR its resistance will be larger than 1MΩ. This FSR can sense
• applied force anywhere in the range of 100g-10kg.
• Two pins extend from the bottom of the sensor with 0.1″ pitch making it bread board
• friendly. There is a peel-and-stick rubber backing on the other side of the sensing
• area to mount the FSR.
• These sensors are simple to set up and great for sensing pressure, but they aren’t
• incredibly accurate. Use them to sense if it’s being squeezed, but you may not want
• to use it as a scale.
