Gravity: Thin-film Pressure Sensor for Pressure Science Course

The Gravity thin-film pressure sensor is a top - notch tool for measuring pressure. It uses a flexible film material that deforms under pressure. When the pressure goes up, the film deforms more, giving higher analog output values. Lighter pressure means lower output. This sensor is great for hands - on learning about pressure measurement concepts. With a detection range from 20g to 6kg, it's suitable for school science and engineering courses, as well as DIY projects. It helps students and educators understand and show off pressure - sensing technology easily. It has a simple, plug - and - play design. No complex setup or calibration is needed, which is perfect for beginners. It works with an operating voltage of 3.3V to 5V and can be connected to Arduino, micro:bit, and Unihiker controllers. Its analog output makes integration into projects a breeze. It has a wide lateral pressure range and a thin 0.4mm sensor element for quick response times, useful for real - time experiments. There are detailed tutorials for popular development platforms like micro:bit, Arduino, and Unihiker to help with sensor integration. In educational applications, it enhances STEM learning. It can be used in physics experiments to measure weight and explore material behavior under pressure. In engineering courses, students can build basic feedback systems. It's also used in maker education and scientific experiments. Specifications include an operating voltage of 3.3 - 5V, a pressure range of 30g to 1.5kg, analog output, a PH2.0 - 3P interface type, product dimensions of 57.5x22mm, and a product weight of 2.9g (14g with packaging and sensor wire). There are product wikis, pin diagrams, and platform - specific tutorials available.

Using this Gravity thin - film pressure sensor is easy. First, connect it to your Arduino, micro:bit, or Unihiker controller. The operating voltage should be between 3.3V and 5V. Just plug it in as it's a plug - and - play design, no complex setup or calibration needed. When using it in experiments, you can start applying pressure and watch the analog output change. For physics experiments, you can measure weight or see how different materials react under pressure. In engineering, build simple systems like robotic arms or pressure - sensitive switches. When handling the sensor, be gentle as it's quite thin at 0.4mm. Don't apply pressure beyond the 6kg limit to avoid damage. To maintain it, keep it in a dry place and clean it gently if it gets dirty. Refer to the product wiki and tutorials for more detailed help.
