SparkFun MIKROE Force Click

Force Click is a mikroBUS� add-on board with circuitry for implementing Interlink Electronics� Force Sensing Resistors into your projects (with a single zone force sensing resistor included with the click). The Force Sensing Resistor is a thin sensor made of two membranes that are separated by a spacer around the edges. When pressed, the gap between two membranes gets closed. This shorts the two membranes together, with a resistance that is proportional to applied force. The outputted analog voltage is thus a measure of force applied. The force sensitivity range is from about 0.2N to 20N (although it depends on the implementation). Force Click communicates with the target MCU through the mikroBUS� AN pin. It is designed to use either a 3.3V or 5V power supply.

Force Click is shipped with a Force Sensitive Resistor you can use right away. The sensor, however, is not permanently affixed. It�s connected to the click through screw terminals. This allows you to swap the existing sensor with different models.
