Sensors & Modules
The DFRobot SEN0296 (RP-S40-ST) is a square, ultra-thin flexible force-sensitive resistor (FSR) featuring a 40 × 40 mm active sensing area. It converts applied static or dynamic mechanical pressure into a inverse change in electrical resistance, decreasing from >10 MΩ down as force increases up to 10 kg.
