Understanding Force Sensor

Introduction

A force sensor, also known as a load cell or force transducer, is a device designed to measure the force or load applied to it. It’s used in various applications to quantify the magnitude of forces in different directions. Force sensors are utilized in fields such as engineering, manufacturing, robotics, healthcare, and more.

Code

1. Select “when flag clicked” from the event palette.
   
2. Use the “forever” block from the control palette.
   
3. Add the “if – else” block from the control palette.
4. Read the analog sensor at A0 to obtain pressure readings.
5. If the value of the analog sensor at A0 is greater than 200, set the output pin 13 to High.
6. if the value of the analog sensor at A0 is less than 200, set the output pin 13 to Low.
7. Now the script has been completed.
