LOW POWER BUTTON REPLACEMENT WITH FORCE SENSITIVE RESISTOR

LOW-POWER BUTTON REPLACEMENT WITH FORCE-SENSITIVE RESISTOR

Introduction A common requirement for devices that must be sealed from environmental exposure is to replace all metal contact style push-buttons with functional replacements that do not have those weather-sealing difficulties. This article describes one such way of creating a contact button replacement using a Force-Sensitive Resistor (FSR) in conjunction with an SLG47004V. Design Description
