Touch Screen

Overview
This resistive touch screen can be used with a stylus or fingertip and is easy to use with a microcontroller. You can put it over a paper overlay for a touch control panel or attach it to an LCD to DIY a touch-activated display. Readings are taken by putting 5V across two of the pins and doing an analog to digital conversion on the other two pins. Full X and Y position can be achieved with only 4 GPIOs.

Touch Screen
Features:
  • 2.2" x 2.75" (55mm x 70mm) overall dimensions,
  •  1.5mm thick.
  • 3.2" diagonal active area, 80mm
  • 600 ohms across X pins, 300 ohms across Y pins
  • 4 wire resistive display, on a 0.5mm FPC connector
  • Adhesive backing to attach easily to LCDs

Force Sensor

Overview
This is a force sensitive resistor with a round, 0.5" diameter, sensing area. This FSR will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower the resistance. When no pressure is being applied to the FSR its resistance will be larger than 1M?. This FSR can sense applied force anywhere in the range of 100g-10kg.

Force Sensor




Features:
  • Size Range : Max = 20” x 24” (51 x 61 cm) Min = 0.2” x 0.2” (0.5 x 0.5 cm)
  •  Device thickness :0.008” to 0.050” (0.20 to 1.25 mm)
  •  Force Sensitivity Range < 100 g to > 10 kg
  •  Temperature Range -30ºC to +70°C.

Flex Sensor 2.2

Overview
Flex Sensor 2.2" RoHS Compliant Description: A simple flex sensor 2.2" in length. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. The resistance of the flex sensor changes when the metal pads are on the outside of the bend (text on inside of bend). Connector is 0.1" spaced and bread board friendly. Note: Please refrain from flexing or straining this sensor at the base. The usable range of the sensor can be flexed without a problem, but care should be taken to minimize flexing outside of the usable range. For best results, securely mount the base and bottom portion and only allow the actual flex sensor to flex.

Flex Sensor 2.2:





Features:
  • Angle Displacement Measurement
  • Bends and Flexes physically with motion device
  • Possible Uses
  • Robotics
  • Gaming (Virtual Motion)
  • Medical Devices
  • Computer Peripherals
