We put three different wireless pressure mapping configurations to the test in a simple drop-test experiment. Find out which option performed the best....

This article shares the basics of force sensing resistor technology, how they work, and how they can be used to capture force measurements as an embedded component within a device....

Figure 1: Thin position sensors, such as the strip sensor shown on the right, share many of the same functional characteristics of an electrical potentiometer (left).Thin linear potentiometers, or...

FlexiForce sensors are a design-engineer-friendly embedded technology due in large part to their thin and flexible form factors. This allows them to be embedded into tight space constraints that can...

Ultra-thin force sensors are a useful embedded component for integration into smart, force-sensitive devices. Their thin and flexible properties allow the ability to fit into tight spaces within a...

Measures taken by engineers early in the design process can have a significant impact in later stages of design. One of the crucial but often-overlooked first steps is Sensor Characterization. This...

For many devices or designs embedded with thin sensors like FlexiForce, the force sensor is used to correlate voltage output to an absolute unit of force (e.g., newton, kilogram, pound, etc.). This is...

Many engineers wonder about the best circuit to drive a FlexiForce™ sensor in an embedded design? If you've browsed our standard FlexiForce sensors recently, you'll notice that we recommend an...

Automobile designers go to great lengths to make sure their designs will withstand the rigors of everyday use. See how pressure mapping is helping them uncover insights to improve vehicle door...
