Project Description:
*****************************
Today’s episode is about the FlexiForce sensor. In this episode I will show you the easiest way how to calibrate flexiforce sensor, we will be measuring some known weights with this sensor, I personally don’t recommend using a force sensor for weight measurement, for weight measurement load cell is the best choice, I have very detailed tutorials on weight measurement using a load cell and hx711, the link is given in the description, if in case you want to watch this tutorial. In this tutorial, I will be using weights only for demonstration purposes. This episode covers the extreme basics, while in the upcoming tutorials we will be using this sensor in security-based projects, we will also be using this sensor in plastic injection molding machine for pressure monitoring, we will also be using this in robots. So make sure you subscribe right now so that you never miss any of my upcoming tutorials.
Let’s get started.
The components that we will be needing for this project are
1. Flexiforce sensor or force sensitive resistor “FSR”
2. A 10k Resistor
3. 47 uf capacitor. Without a capacitor, the values fluctuate a lot, but using a capacitor will result in stable values.
4. Bread board
5. Arduino and finally
6. Jumper wires.
The red wire is connected with the 5v, the grey wire is connected with the ground and blue wire is connected with the Analog pin A0.
A flexiforce sensor is also known as the force-sensing resistor is a material whose resistance changes when a force, pressure, or mechanical stress is applied. They are also known as "force-sensitive resistor" FSR. This sensor as you can see has three legs. The middle one is not used.
