Learn how force sensor sensor works, how to connect force sensor to Arduino, how to program Arduino step by step. The detail instruction, code, wiring diagram, video tutorial, line-by-line code explanation are provided to help you quickly get started with Arduino.

In this tutorial you will learn how an FSR works and how to use it with Arduino. Wiring diagrams, example codes and CAD files included!

Introduction Interfacing a force-sensing resistor FSR with an Arduino Uno is a popular project among electronics enthusiasts and hobbyists. Force-sensing resistors are simple yet effective sensors that are used to detect physical pressure or force.

Interfacing Force Sensing Resistor FSR with Arduino A Force Sensing Resistor, also known as a Force Sensor, or simply an FSR, is a simple and inexpensive sensor designed to measure physical pressure, squeeze, and weight. It can be found in a variety of portable electronics, including electronic drums, handheld gaming devices, and mobile phones.

Here we have used Force Sensor Resistor with a round 0.5 diameter sensing area and single Arduino uno, our intention is to measure the force applied to the FSR in Five stages through serial monitor.

In this user guide, we will learn about Force Sensor also known as FSR, and learn to interface FSR sensor Arduino using the Arduino IDE. We will go through its introduction, working mechanism, pinout, and how to obtain readings from the sensor. Furthermore, we will display the sensor readings on Arduino serial monitor.

FSRs are super robust pressure sensors that are used in all kinds of industries. You will nd them in electronic drums, mobile phones, handheld gaming devices and many more portable electronics. These sensors are easy to use and great for sensing pressure. In this tutorial you will learn how an FSR works and how to use it with Arduino. I have included 3 examples with a wiring diagram and code

Here is a typical example Now we will show you how to connect this to your Arduino Schematic A simple schematic to build here basically you are creating a voltage divider with 10k resistor and the force sensor, squeezing the force sensor alters the resistance so the voltage in at A0 will vary depending on the force
