Featured in Stamp Lab
Application on page 55 of the 2003 Product Catalog. The active sensing
area is a .375" diameter circle at the end of the sensor. The
conductive leads are easy to connect to a breadboard or through-hole
area. The Flexiforce has an ideal output for A/D conversion - 0V is no
force and 4.2V is 100 lbs. The RCTIME command may be used with a LOOKUP
table or calibration formula to execute some math to make the output
useful. The kit includes a 220 ohm resistor, 0.1 uF and 0.01 uF
capacitor, Flexiforce sensor, and printed documentation.
