How to Use a Force Sensor with an Arduino (Lesson #23)

This video tutorial explains how to use a force sensitive resistor with an Arduino to detect pressure. It covers the physical properties of the sensor, its limitations for precise measurements, and how to set up a circuit using a voltage divider. The tutorial includes a demonstration in Tinkercad to simulate sensor behavior and a detailed walkthrough of the Arduino code for reading sensor values. The video concludes with a recap and tips for effective sensor use.

What happens to the voltage reading when pressure is applied to the force sensitive resistor?

Explain how you can use the sensor reading to control LEDs in your Arduino project.

What factors can affect the output voltage of a force sensitive resistor?
