Connect the other side to an Analog Pin of a microcontroller. Connect the same Analog Pin to a fixed resistor (e.g., ) leading to Ground (GND).
Integrated into garments, shoes, or gloves for measuring pressure points.
The most commonly refers to a flexible thin‑film force‑sensing resistor manufactured by Leanstar. This sensor offers a unique combination of ultra‑thin construction (<0.3 mm), high flexibility, waterproofing, and a very long mechanical life (>1 million cycles), all at a low unit cost. It is ideal for detecting human touch, presence, and force in smart home, wearable, medical, and automotive applications. zd10-100 datasheet
Under no load, the resistance exceeds 10 MΩ, which is effectively an open circuit. As the force increases, the resistance drops sharply, then levels off near the upper end of the range. These values are typical and were measured under laboratory conditions. For production designs, always characterise the sensor in your actual mechanical assembly.

is a highly sensitive, ultra-thin, flexible . Often classified as a Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR), this component converts mechanical pressure or bending into a measurable change in electrical resistance. With its low-profile design, rapid response times, and resilience, the Go to product viewer dialog for this item.
