Gorillacell Module 037: FSR Sensor
Table of Contents

The FSR (Force Sensitive Resistor) is a type of sensor that changes its resistance based on the amount of physical pressure applied to its surface. When more force is exerted, the resistance decreases, allowing the sensor to measure varying levels of pressure or touch intensity.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one FSR Sensor module for experimenting with pressure detection, touch-sensitive inputs, and force measurement applications.

PINOUT
It has 3 pins which are
- GND - for the ground pin,
- VCC - for the supply voltage, and
- SIG - for determining the analog value of the FSR Sensor module.
An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) peripheral will be used in order to determine the physical pressure applied on the sensor area.
