Printed Electronics USA
Printed Electronics is the only event focused on the commercialization of printed, organic and flexible electronics, visit Tekscan at booth C02!
Tekscan's CTO, Rob Podoloff, will be presenting on Thursday 11/21 "Reading Flexible, Tactile Sensors: Interface Methods And Performance Tradeoffs"
Presentation Summary
Piezo-resistive sensors, as their name implies, exhibit a characteristic change is electrical resistance when subjected to an external load. In order to interpret this change in resistance, an interface circuit must be used to convert this change into a signal (typically a voltage) that is readable by a microcontroller through an analog to digital converter. This talk will present three different methods for doing this conversion and the pros and cons associated with each one. A real time demonstration of the performance of the various options will be provided.
