First, to get an idea, most major manufacturers list the typical pressure range needed on their datasheet. If it is a one-off supplier from eBay, no datasheet is likely.Dear All,
I am looking for a way to measure the pressure on a push button when it is pressed. I intend to save it in flash of a microcontroller.
It would be great if you have any suggestions about available devices that be used.
Thanks,
The button is pressed using the fingers, so may be around 100 - 200 grams.It will depend on the pressure that you want to measure. Is it in millionths of a gram or thousands of tons ?
I intend to save it in flash of a microcontroller.
Normally push buttons are on or off. Why do you want to measure the pressure and store it in Flash?Yes, it is better.
Thanks!
The manufacutrer should provide such data.In my project, I want to find out the approximate count for which the button is working properly. I will store the count as well the force/pressure on it to understand it better
Keeping it simple you could use a micro controller like an Arduino with a Arduino ethernet shield which allows storage or any number of storage methods. You could also dump the data into Excel or whatever works for you.I intend to save it in flash of a microcontroller.
