FSR: Force Sensor (Arduino Compatible)

Measure how hard or soft someone presses on a surface with this FSR (Force Sensitive Resistor). As more force is applied on the sensor, the resistance decreases. Measure pressures from 0 to 22 pounds! Adhesive backed and super thin so you can stick it anywhere.
