VMA334 FORCE-SENSING RESISTOR (FSR) USER MANUAL
VMA334 USER MANUAL 1. Introduction To all residents of the European Union Important environmental information about this product This symbol on the device or the package indicates that disposal of the device after its lifecycle could harm the environment. Do not dispose of the unit (or batteries) as unsorted municipal waste; it should be taken to a specialized company for recycling. This device should be returned to your distributor or to a local recycling service. Respect the local environmental rules.
VMA334 5. Overview VMA334 This FSR (Force Sensing Resistor) will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. A 2.54 mm male pinheader is provided making it easy to use it on breadboards. sensor type: single point shape of sensitive area: round diameter of sensitive area: 10 mm (+/- 1 mm) total length: 39 mm sensor thickness: 0.2 mm material: polyester range: 100-1000 g terminal: male pinheader step 2.54 mm principle: piezo-resistive service life: > 500.
VMA334 /* CODE BEGIN ReadAnalogVoltage Reads an analog input on pin 0, converts it to voltage, and prints the result to the Serial Monitor. Graphical representation is available using Serial Plotter (Tools > Serial Plotter menu). Attach the pin between the FSR and a resistor (or potentiometer) to pin A0,the other FSR pin to +5V and the resistor to ground. This example code is in the public domain. http://www.arduino.
