Measuring the Newton force by the FSR it is good idea to map analogue voltage reading ranges to 0 V to supply voltage. After that you can calculate the FSR resistance using following formula: | Measuring the Newton force by the FSR it is good idea to map analogue voltage reading ranges to 0 V to supply voltage.
