The Gravity: Thin-film Pressure Sensor measures pressure through the deformation of a flexible film material. As pressure increases, the film deforms, producing higher analog output values, while lighter pressure results in lower output. This sensor is an excellent educational tool for hands-on exploration of pressure measurement concepts. The detection range is from 20g to 6kg. It is widely used in school science and engineering courses, as well as in DIY projects, providing students and educators with an accessible way to understand and demonstrate pressure sensing technology. The sensor can be easily connected to Arduino and micro:bit controllers.
Simple, Plug-and-Play Design
Designed for ease of use, the thin-film pressure sensor requires no complex setup or calibration, making it ideal for beginners. With an operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5V, it can be seamlessly connected to Arduino, micro:bit, and Unihiker. Its analog output makes it straightforward to integrate into various projects, ensuring a smooth setup process.
