Recommendations for Force sensing devices?

frank freedman

Need recommendations or suggestions for force/pressure sensing part in the range of 0-200 pounds range. The plan is to be able to monitor a standing load for shifts in position and then acting on the amount of shift greater than a certain difference from the initial set (is ballanced or reasonably distributed) across 4 or more points.

Sorry if this seems like a repeat of the last question, but thought I would ask in a more open ended way to see what others have done for this sort of measurement.

Thanks,

You could look at these as a starting point, I think they could work well with P2

I thought I saw an I2C version somewhere but it may have been a different company. Similar price.

@Tubular, Thanks for the lead. Looks like this part may not be much more expensive than the FlexScan part I am currently playing with. I will have to look at these closer to see if they may be easier to use than the FlexScan parts.

I used that load cell with their HX711 module and a Prop(examples probably in obex) and it worked great. pretty simple stuff to use.
