The SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier is a small breakout board for the HX711 IC that allows you to easily read load cells to measure weight. By connecting the amplifier to your microcontroller you will be able to read the...

SKU: SF-SEN-10293 | Brand: SparkFun

A simple piezo element that can be used as both a sensor and a small audio transducer. When flexed or tapped, it generates a voltage that can be read by a microcontroller, making it ideal for knock and vibration detec...

SKU: LB-LR0399 | Brand: Little Bird

This straight bar load cell (strain gauge) converts applied force or weight into a proportional electrical signal, with a maximum capacity of 5kg. It uses four strain gauges arranged in a Wheatstone bridge configurati...

SKU: AF-1075 | Brand: Adafruit

A force-sensitive resistor (FSR) that changes its resistance based on how much pressure is applied. This Interlink 406 model features a 38 mm square sensing region, making it useful for detecting physical pressure, sq...

SKU: AF-5463 | Brand: Adafruit

This rubber sheet is made of the same carbon-black impregnated rubber material that our conductive rubber cord uses. Traditionally it would be used for EMF shielding, or conductive gaskets - but it's very fun to play ...

SKU: SF-SEN-14727 | Brand: SparkFun

This miniature straight bar load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 100g of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that cha...

SKU: LB-LR0400 | Brand: Little Bird

A 1kg straight bar load cell (strain gauge) that converts applied force into a measurable electrical signal. Made from aluminium alloy with four strain gauges in a Wheatstone bridge configuration, this sensor is ideal...

This rubber sheet is made of the same carbon-black impregnated rubber material that our conductive rubber cord uses. Traditionally it would be used for EMF shielding, or conductive gaskets - but it's very fun to play ...

SKU: SF-SEN-09376 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a force sensitive resistor with a square, 1.75x1.5", sensing area. This FSR will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower the res...

SKU: KS-KS0345 | Brand: Keyestudio

Introducing the Electronic Scale Kit 5KG Digital Load Cell Weight Sensor Kit for Arduino, the perfect project for anyone interested in STEM and code programming! With this kit, you can easily create your own electroni...

SKU: SF-SEN-09196 | Brand: SparkFun

This basic piezo sensor from Measurement Specialties is often used for flex, touch, vibration and shock measurements. A small AC and large voltage (up to +/-90V) is created when the film moves back and forth. A simple...

SKU: AF-519 | Brand: Adafruit

Measuring stretch forces isn't easy - unless you have some conductive rubber cord! This cord is 2mm diameter, and 1 meter long, made of carbon-black impregnated rubber. Usually this material is used for EMF gasketing,...

SKU: SF-SEN-10245 | Brand: SparkFun

A single-point load cell (strain gauge) rated for up to 50 kg. This is the same type of sensor found in digital bathroom scales. It outputs a small analogue voltage proportional to the applied force, which can be read...

SKU: DF-SEN0209 | Brand: DFRobot

This is an Arduino compatible piezo film vibration sensor. It is made up of flexible piezo film and converter board. The sensor is able to detect vibration, flexibility, impact and touch. The film is a flexible compo...

SKU: SF-SEN-08606 | Brand: SparkFun

A simple flex sensor 4.5" in length. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. Patented technology by Spectra Symbol - they claim these sensors were used in the original Nintendo Power Gl...

SKU: SF-BOB-13878 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun Load Sensor Combinator is a bare PCB that combines four load sensors into a standard four-wire Wheatstone bridge configuration. If you open up an electronic bathroom scale, you’ll find a large rat’s ne...

SKU: AF-166 | Brand: Adafruit

The Interlink 402 is a round force-sensitive resistor (FSR) with a 12.7 mm (0.5″) sensing area. It changes resistance based on applied pressure — the harder you press, the lower the resistance — making it a simple, lo...

SKU: DF-SEN0064 | Brand: DFRobot

A simple flex sensor 4.5" in length. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. Patented technology by Spectra Symbol - they claim these sensors were used in the original Nintendo Power Gl...

SKU: SF-SEN-08680 | Brand: SparkFun

These are very thin variable potentiometers. By pressing down on various parts of the strip, the resistance linearly changes from 100Ohms to 10,000Ohms allowing the user to very accurately calculate the relative posit...
