In module 2 you will learn how to specify and use various types of force and strain sensors for an embedded circuit. First, you will learn about how strain gauges use the piezoresistive effect and ...

Finally, to solve his pet peeve of setting up and using the stock Z-probe, [Bruno] turned the entire print bed into a strain-gauge sensor. This took some doing, which the blog post details nicely ...

The Wheatstone bridge is a ubiquitous circuit configuration that is useful in detecting small changes in resistance.

The stock crank arms are carefully fitted with two pairs of tiny strain gauges ... with one gauge in each pair mounted perpendicular to the force on the crank to serve as a static reference.

This video explores the fascinating world of strain gauges, these clever little devices that combine elements of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and materials science to give us a ...

The test section is equipped with a six-component strain gauge balance unit by Microcraft, Inc. Figures 2 and 3 show the test section and force balance, respectively.
