Strain gages are sensing devices used in a variety of physical test and measurement applications. They change resistance at their output terminals when stretched or compressed. Because of this ...

Out of curiosity, I bought a strain gauge sensor module after it appeared on sale. This write-up is fuzzy, since I decided to write based on a quick inspection of it. Have fun reading my little post ...

Sooner or later, we’ve all got to deal with torque measurement. Most of us will never need to go beyond the satisfying click of a micrometer-style torque wrench or the grating buzz of a cordless drill ...

Flexible skin-attachable strain-gauge sensors are an essential component in the development of artificial systems that can mimic the complex characteristics of the human skin. In general, such sensors ...
