The resistance of the FlexiForce sensor is proportional to weight. The sensor included in the kit has a resolution of ≈ 1.6lbs. 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 - 0 V is no force and 4.2 V is 25 lbs. The RCTIME command may be used with a LOOKUP table or calibration formula to execute some math to make the output useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower requirements: 5 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunication: Sensing area .375 in (9.53 mm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 8.00 x 0.55 x .005 in (203 x 9.53 x .127 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temp range: +15 to +140 °F (-9 to +60 °C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53397218197813,"sku":"30056","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/6307\/2821\/files\/ec9a2eb7-30056a.png?v=1787781816","url":"https:\/\/shop.parallax.com\/products\/flexiforce-sensor-demo-kit","provider":"Parallax Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
