Description:
The Voltage Divider (1121) provides a very easy interface to non-Phidgets resistance sensors such as: Force-Sensing Resistors (FSR), light sensors, thermistors (heat sensors), and bend sensors. These sensors can be found in our Webshop, e.g. in the list of recomended products.
The Voltage Divider eliminates the need to connect a resistor to an analog input by putting a high precision potentiometer on the board to allow the adjustment of the 'fixed' resistor. This Voltage Divider can be used with any device that has an Analogue Input
The interface to the variable resistance sensor is a convenient terminal block.
