The Gravity: Thin-film Pressure Sensor is designed to measure pressure through the deformation of a flexible film. As pressure increases, the film deforms and produces a higher analog output, while lighter pressure results in lower values. With a detection range of 20g to 6kg, this sensor is an excellent hands-on tool for pressure measurement experiments.
It's widely used in school science and engineering courses, giving students and educators an accessible, visual way to explore real-world force and pressure concepts. Fully compatible with Arduino, micro:bit, and Unihiker development boards.
Simple, Plug-and-Play Design
This sensor is built for easy integration, requiring no complex setup or calibration — making it perfect for beginners. With a wide voltage range of 3.3V to 5V, it connects directly to popular platforms like Arduino, micro:bit, and Unihiker. Its analog output ensures seamless compatibility with a variety of STEM and DIY electronics projects.
Versatile Pressure Detection
The sensor features a wide pressure range from as little as 20g up to 6kg, suitable for both lightweight detection and high-force applications. With a slim 0.4mm thickness, it responds rapidly, making it ideal for real-time experiments and demonstrations in classrooms and maker labs.
Educational Applications: Enhancing STEM Learning
This sensor is perfect for physics experiments, where students can observe how pressure affects weight, load distribution, and material behavior. In engineering education, it can be used to build systems with feedback, such as robotic arms or pressure-sensitive switches — transforming abstract theory into practical knowledge.
