{"title":"Linear SoftPot (Ribbon Sensor) [100mm]","handle":"linear-softpot-ribbon-sensor-100mm","url":"/products/linear-softpot-ribbon-sensor-100mm","description":"A 100 mm linear soft potentiometer (ribbon sensor) manufactured by Spectra Symbol. This pressure-sensitive ribbon controller features an adhesive backing for easy mounting and provides a variable resistance output based on the position of touch along its length.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n100 mm Active Length – Linear position sensing along the ribbon\n\n10K Nominal Resistance – Across the two outer leads\n\nAnalog Output – Centre pin resistance varies with touch position\n\nAdhesive Backing – Peel-and-stick mounting\n\nManufacturer – Spectra Symbol\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nPosition and slider input for Arduino projects\nMusic controllers and MIDI interfaces\nTouch-based user interfaces\nRobotics and motion sensing\n\n\n\nWarning: Do not connect the outer pins directly to power and ground. Use 10K series resistors on each outer pin — one to ground, one to Vcc (3.3V or 5V). Read the analog voltage on the centre pin, which will range from ⅓ Vcc to ⅔ Vcc. When no pressure is applied, the centre pin floats — use a weak pullup (e.g. 100K) to stabilise the reading.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":11560,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-178","price":16.08,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":74,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
