Good value, needs calibration

Great little sensor for the price. It took some time to get the readings consistent on the Raspberry Pi, but once calibrated, it performs well for touch detection.

Works but sensitive to noise

The sensor works as described, but I had to add a capacitor across the power lines to reduce electrical noise in my specific setup. Otherwise, it's functional.

Easy integration with micro:bit

I was worried about compatibility, but connecting this to the micro:bit via the breakout pins was straightforward. The documentation provided clear pinout details.

Perfect for robotics projects

This sensor module works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The analog output is stable and easy to calibrate for a simple weight scale project I'm building.

Solid build quality

The thin-film element feels durable. I've tested it under repeated pressure cycles and haven't seen any drift in the baseline reading yet.

Great for school projects

Used this for a science fair project measuring grip strength. The data logging was smooth, and the sensor reacted instantly to pressure changes.

5 FAQ

Q: What is the maximum temperature this sensor can withstand?

A: The operating temperature range is -20°C to +60°C. Exceeding this range may affect accuracy or damage the thin-film element.

Q: Is there a library available for Python on Raspberry Pi?

A: Since this is an analog sensor, you will need an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) like the MCP3008 for the Raspberry Pi. We provide example code for reading the ADC values in our GitHub repository.

Q: Does this module come with the connecting wires?

A: Yes, the package includes a short 3-pin jumper wire cable compatible with standard breadboards and GPIO headers.

Q: Can this sensor detect dynamic force changes or only static weight?

A: It is capable of detecting both static weight and dynamic force changes due to its fast response time of less than 10ms.

Q: Can I use this with a 5V Arduino Nano?

A: Absolutely. The module supports an input voltage range of 3.3V to 5V, making it fully compatible with the 5V logic of the Arduino Nano.
