Applications:

Thin film FSR pressure sensors find applications in various fields, including but not limited to:

Human-Machine Interfaces: They can be integrated into touch-sensitive surfaces for user interfaces in devices like touchpads, touchscreens, and buttons.

Medical Devices: Used in medical instruments and devices to measure pressure, for example, in force-sensitive foot pedals or pressure-sensitive mattresses for patients.

Industrial Automation: Employed in manufacturing processes to monitor and control the application of force in machinery.

Robotics: Integrated into robotic grippers and limbs to provide feedback on applied forces.

Sports Equipment: Used in sports equipment such as pressure-sensitive mats for measuring impact forces or weightlifting platforms.

Signal Conditioning: To use this FSR sensor effectively, you will typically need signal conditioning circuitry to convert the resistance changes into a usable electrical signal, such as voltage or current, that can be interpreted by a microcontroller or other electronics.

Calibration: Depending on your specific application, you may need to calibrate the sensor to ensure accurate and consistent measurements across its pressure range.
