Perfect for robotics grippers
Integrated this into my robotic arm gripper. Provides excellent feedback on grip strength.
5 FAQ
Q: Does it work with 3.3V logic?
A: Yes, it is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems.
Q: What resistor value do you recommend?
A: We recommend a 10k ohm pull-down resistor for general purposes.
Q: Is this waterproof?
A: No, this is a thin-film sensor and should be kept dry.
Q: Can I connect this directly to a microcontroller?
A: You need a pull-down resistor to convert resistance to voltage for ADC reading.
Q: Can I cut the sensor to size?
A: No, cutting the active area will damage the circuit and void functionality.
