Voltage divider: Electrode with force sensing material on it wired as the top resistor connected to Vcc (for example 3.3V or 5V), and the bottom resistor is a pull-down resistor of 10k ohms to 100k ohms. When the material is uncompressed, its resistance is in the megaohms range. When compressed, its resistance decreases exponentially to the kiloohms range. The circuit node voltage between the resistors can be measured by any microcontroller, using a digital input for simple press detection, or with an analog input using an internal ADC to measure analog voltage and calculate resistance, and with calibration applied force. 1 © 2007-2025 Proto Advantage ® Inc. SSEENN Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) resistance can be calculated as follows: R1 = R2 (VCC / VOUT - 1)
