FlexiForce^® Starter Kit: Force Sensors and Circuit Components

Your force sensing assignment just got easier.  Tekscan, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of the FlexiForce^® Starter Kit.  Geared toward students and hobbyists, as well as the engineer who prefers the convenience of one-stop shopping, the FlexiForce Starter Kit contains all the necessary components to build any of our three recommended circuits, as well as a guide with detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to build the circuits, and, for a limited time, two sample FlexiForce tactile force sensors.

FlexiForce sensors are paper-thin, flexible, and accurate piezoresistive force sensors that are at work in a variety of force sensing applications where they are utilized to:

• Detect and measure a relative change in force or applied load
• Detect and measure the rate of change in force
• Identify force thresholds and trigger appropriate action
• Detect contact and/or touch

Available to purchase online for just $99, the FlexiForce Starter Kit by Tekscan is the perfect introduction to tactile force sensing technology.
