Force Sensitive Resistor Interface SPIO (ME-00033-1A)

ABOUT
The Magzor Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) breakout board allows you measure the force applied to a tactile surface at the end of the sensor attached to this SPIO.

Power
Typical operating voltages for the board range from 2.5 V to 5 V. Other voltages can be used, but this is the range of values that have been reliably tested and best documented. If your input voltage is low, the Magzor Direct-Coupled Amplifier SPIO is a great way to get a clean amplified signal, with controllable gain. This FSR breakout is perfectly paired with the Magzor GPIO x10 MIC.

Connectors
The board has a standard 3-pin header for connecting sensors, which powers the boards and provides output for your signal.

Pins

 * VCC: Power to the Board (Typical 2.5 V to 5 V)
 * GND
 * SIG: Analog Output Signal

FSR 400
The FSR 400 is a polymer thick film device that decreases in resistance as force is applied to the 5 mm round sensor surface. The resistance of the sensor varies from 1 Mohm when no force is applied to 2.5 kOhm.
