To connect and set up your SingleTact Pressure Miniature Force Sensor for analog output, follow these steps as outlined in the user guide:
1. **Connection:**
- Pull out the Sensor Locking Tab gently (it will only move about 2mm).
- Insert the SingleTact Sensor into the FCC Connector, ensuring the orientation matches the diagram provided.
- Push the Sensor Locking Tab back in.
2. **Analog Output Setup:**
- Connect a positive supply (3.7V to 5V) to the SingleTact Interface Board Pin 1 and a ground supply (0V, GND) to SingleTact Interface Board Pin 8.
- Measure voltage on SingleTact Interface Board Pin 2 with a voltmeter, oscilloscope, or microcontroller.
- The analog output swings from 0V to 2V, with valid outputs ranging from 0.5V (no force) to 1.5V (FSR force). As pressure increases beyond the full-scale range (FSR), the output increases to 2V and then saturates.
- The measured force can be calculated using the equation: Force (N) = (Voltage Output(V) x Sensor Rated Force(N)) / 1.5. Note that this equation is an estimate unless you are using a calibrated sensor pair.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully connect and set up your SingleTact Pressure Miniature Force Sensor for analog output. If you encounter any issues or require further assistance, refer to the user guide or contact SingleTact support for help.
