How the Force Sensitive Resistor Works
The FSR pressure sensor changes its resistance based on the force applied to the sensing area. When no pressure is applied, the resistance remains high. As force increases, the resistance decreases, allowing microcontrollers to measure pressure levels using an analog input.
This simple operation makes it ideal for detecting touch, squeeze, impact, or weight in electronic systems.
