The Phidgets Force Sensor (38N, 60cm Cable Included) can be utilized as a button for human input or to detect the presence of small objects. This sensor registers 0V when no force is applied, with the voltage increasing up to 5V as force is exerted on the circular button. It is designed for user input detection but is not suitable for precise weight measurement or prolonged loading.
Note: This sensor is not intended for long-term load applications.
