How do you hook up a FSR sensor?
It is quite easy to connect FSR to an arduino. You need to connect a 10kΩ pull-down resistor in series with the FSR to create a voltage divider circuit. Then the point between the pull-down resistor and the FSR is connected to the A0 ADC input of an Arduino.
How do you test FSR?
The easiest way to determine how your FSR works is to connect a multimeter in resistance-measurement mode to the two tabs on your sensor and see how the resistance changes. Because the resistance changes a lot, a auto-ranging meter works well here.

Which is the best sensing area for a FSR?
Most FSRs have either a circular or rectangular sensing area. Square FSRs are good for broad-area sensing, while small circular sensors can provide greater accuracy to the sensing field. Another key feature of the FSR is its rated sensing range, which defines the minimum and maximum pressures that the sensor can differentiate between.
What does a Force Sensitive Resistor ( FSR ) do?
Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) is a sensor which lowers its resistance when there is force upon it. If there is no force acting on it, the resistance is ~10MOhms.
Which is the best way to read a FSR?
The easiest way to read the FSR is to connect the FSR with a fixed value resistor (usually 10kΩ) to create a voltage divider. To do this you connect one end of the FSR to Power and the other to a pull-down resistor. Then the point between the fixed value pull-down resistor and the variable FSR resistor is connected to the ADC input of an Arduino.
Can a FSR be used on a microcontroller with no analog pins?
Because FSR’s are basically resistors, its possible to use them even if you don’t have any analog pins on your microcontroller (or if say you want to connect more than you have analog input pins. The way we do this is by taking advantage of a basic electronic property of resistors and capacitors.
