Easy to use for beginners
I am using this with a micro:bit for a school science fair. The documentation online helped me get it running in under an hour. Highly recommended for students.

Reliable and compact
The form factor is tiny, making it easy to fit into tight enclosures. The signal noise is minimal. Will buy again for future prototypes.

Good sensitivity, needs calibration
The sensor is quite sensitive. I had to spend some time tuning the code to get accurate readings for my weight scale prototype, but it works well now.

Works great with Raspberry Pi
Connected this to an MCP3008 ADC for my Raspberry Pi project. No issues detected. The thin-film technology seems durable enough for light industrial testing.

Perfect for my robotics project
This sensor module worked flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The analog output is stable and easy to calibrate. Great value for the price.

Decent but limited range
It works as described, but don't expect it to handle heavy loads. It's perfect for touch buttons or light pressure monitoring, not for heavy weighing.
Q: Can this sensor measure dynamic force or only static weight?
A: It can measure both dynamic force (like a tap) and static weight, though drift may occur over long periods under constant heavy load.
Q: Does this module come with the connecting wires?
A: No, the module includes the PCB and header pins, but jumper wires are sold separately.
Q: How do I attach this to a non-flat surface?
A: The sensor film is flexible, but the PCB is rigid. For curved surfaces, we recommend mounting the PCB nearby and using extended wires to connect to the flexible sensing area if custom integration is required.
Q: Is there a library available for Python on Raspberry Pi?
A: Since it outputs an analog voltage, you will need an ADC chip like the MCP3008. There are many generic Python libraries for reading ADC values that work perfectly with this sensor.
Q: What is the maximum voltage I can apply to the VCC pin?
A: Please do not exceed 5.5V. The recommended operating range is 3.3V to 5V to ensure accurate readings and prevent damage.
