The active sensing area is a .375" diameter circle at the end of the sensor. The conductiveleads are easy to connect to a breadboard or through-hole area. The Flexiforce has an ideal output for A/D conversion - 0V is no force and 4.2V is 100 lbs. The RCTIME command may be used with a LOOKUP table or calibration formula to execute some math to makethe output useful. The kit includes a 220 ohm resistor, 0.1 uF and 0.01 uF capacitor, Flexiforce sensor, and printed documentation.
