The RFP Thin Film Pressure Sensor Resistance/Voltage Conversion Module is a dedicated signal conditioning circuit designed to interface FSR4 series resistive sensors with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, STM32, and Raspberry Pi. It converts the sensor’s variable resistance into a linear analog voltage (0-5V) and provides a digital threshold output for simplified pressure detection.

Features

  • Converts FSR4 sensor resistance to 0-5V analog voltage (AO) and digital threshold (DO) output.
  • Wide 3.3V to 5V DC operating range for compatibility with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, and Raspberry Pi.
  • Compact PCB footprint (14mm x 32mm) for easy integration into wearable, robotics, and embedded projects.
  • Simple 4-pin interface (VCC, GND, AO, DO) for plug-and-play connectivity.
  • Provides simultaneous analog and digital outputs for flexible system design.

Description

This signal conditioning module serves as a dedicated interface for FSR4 series thin-film force-sensitive resistor (FSR) sensors. It employs a precision voltage divider and comparator circuit to translate the sensor’s pressure-dependent resistance into a clean, linear analog voltage signal proportional to the applied force. The digital output provides a clean, debounced logic signal that toggles when the analog signal crosses a preset threshold, set by an onboard potentiometer.

Engineered for robust performance in embedded systems, the module operates across a 3.3V to 5V DC range, making it directly compatible with a vast array of development boards and microcontrollers without requiring external level shifters. Its compact, solder-masked PCB is designed for reliable operation in applications ranging from prototype breadboarding to final product integration.

Key Features

  • Dedicated signal conditioner for FSR4-series thin-film resistive pressure sensors.
  • Generates a linear 0V to 5V analog output (AO) proportional to applied force.
  • Provides a configurable digital threshold output (DO) for simple on/off detection.
  • Wide 3.3V to 5V DC input voltage range ensures broad microcontroller compatibility.
  • Compact PCB dimensions (14mm x 32mm) enable integration into space-constrained designs.
  • Simple 4-pin header (VCC, GND, AO, DO) allows for quick connection and prototyping.
  • Onboard potentiometer for precise adjustment of the digital output trigger threshold.
  • High-value build optimized for wearable electronics, robotics tactile feedback, and human-machine interfaces.

Applications

  • Robotics tactile feedback and gripper force control systems.
  • Wearable electronics for pressure monitoring in smart garments and insoles.
  • Human-Machine Interface (HMI) panels and touch-sensitive control surfaces.
  • Prototyping and educational projects involving force and pressure measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this module?

The module is designed to operate from a 3.3V to 5V DC power supply. This wide range ensures direct compatibility with most common microcontrollers like 5V Arduino boards and 3.3V ESP32 or Raspberry Pi systems without requiring an external voltage regulator or level shifter.

How do I connect an FSR4 sensor and read the output?

Connect your FSR4 sensor across the two designated solder pads on the module. For analog reading, connect the module's AO pin to an ADC input on your microcontroller (e.g., Arduino A0). For digital detection, connect the DO pin to any digital I/O pin. The DO threshold is adjustable via the onboard potentiometer.

Can I use this module with sensors other than the FSR4 series?

This module is specifically calibrated for the resistance range and response curve of the FSR4 series thin-film resistive sensors. Using it with other resistive sensors may result in non-linear or inaccurate output readings and is not recommended for precision applications.

What does the digital output (DO) signal indicate?

The digital output provides a clean logic-high or logic-low signal. It toggles when the analog voltage from the sensor exceeds a preset threshold, which you can adjust using the onboard potentiometer. This is useful for creating simple on/off switches or presence detectors without needing to constantly read an ADC value.
