quare Force-Sensitive Resistor
The Square Force-Sensitive Resistor (FSR) is a thin, flexible pressure sensor that changes its resistance when force or pressure is applied to its sensing area. It is widely used in electronics, robotics, interactive projects, wearable devices, and Arduino-based applications for detecting touch, pressure, weight, and user interaction.
This sensor provides a simple and cost-effective way to measure varying levels of force. As the applied pressure increases, the resistance decreases, allowing easy integration with microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other development boards.
