The DFRobot Gravity: Thin-film Pressure Sensor (SEN0616) is a high-sensitivity Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) designed to measure pressure through the deformation of a flexible film. As pressure increases, the film produces a higher analog output. With a precise detection range of 30g to 1.5kg, this sensor is an ideal tool for STEM education, tactile sensing, and physics experiments.

It is widely used in science and engineering courses, offering an accessible way to explore force concepts. Fully compatible with Arduino, micro:bit, and Unihiker (Python-ready) development boards.

Simple, Plug-and-Play Design

This Gravity-compatible sensor features easy integration with no complex calibration required. Operating at 3.3V to 5V, it connects directly to popular MCU platforms. Its analog voltage output ensures seamless compatibility with DIY electronics projects.
