Bro I didn't got the code but somehow I managed thanks for the video it helped for my college project work thank you so much be happy

Did you calculate the force from your resistance output values? It would be nice to see what the force is rather than the output being "Light, Medium, Big". If so, how close were they to actual values? Thanks! Great video :)

Will the sensor pin damage if it touches the solder?

Hi I want to measure heavier force like 20kg, wondering if I can use other sensor RP-S40-ST Thin Film Pressure Sensor, are most of the connection and code be the same?

Great video!
I assume it's resistive and not capacitive, or is it both?
On the other hand would it detect a bunch of beach sand?
Thanks

hi I saw that in circuit diagram there is a amplifier, And I dont think you connect one, wonder why?

[dcsxbre]

can you please help me with this?
I have a similar sensor with these features:
Actuation Force: 0.1 Newtons
Force Sensitivity Range: 0.1 - 10.02 Newtons
Non-Actuated Resistance: 10M W
what should be the resistor values in the voltage divider circuit for the above specifications?
