identifying pressure sensor part

[TomBailey]

Very new to anything electrical here so any help would be much appreciated!

Starting a new project involving a pressure sensor and we need help identifying the 6 prong piece below.

What actually is this piece? There is no info from the sellers of the sensor and before purchasing, what would I need to connect this to in order to be able to receive the data it can collect?

Would really appreciate any help/ advice!

Looks to me like a virtual multiplexed keyboard sensor.
I have six more guesses all of which can be wrong!
Can you please elaborate on your project?

It is Saturday. My crystal ball has the day off and makes me carry it around. It’s rather angry at me right now. It’s buffering.

Thank you,

It is effectively a pressure sensing glove for golf, and this would used in a coaching environment to give accurate measurement to what has previously been a communicated “feeling” of light or firm grip pressure from the student.

The idea stems from the fact that these gloves exist to buy online, and we have people who can code software to interpret data. However, we don’t have the electrical component knowledge to know what parts we need to connect to the end section of the glove.

Figuring out what fitting it is would be a start so at least I can research connection options but we are none the wiser!

Next time go with that! Seems to be my other six guesses would have been right! Go figure?




I do not normally recommend Wikipedia, but that would be the place to start in your case…
These guys down below are trying to sell you something, but it is information you are looking for and I would personally recommend looking up patents For the glove of your choice and go from there, you have a lot of research to conduct. Good luck to you…. If you know.

From the "reference circuit" it looks like these are not pressure sensors in the way you need them. The "sensors" seem to be simple on/off contacts.
The red line in below image is GND. The blue line would be V[SUB}out4[/SUB]. the little circle with waht looks like "4#" in it would be a contact that is either:

• open -> V_out4 = Vcc via pull-up resistor R4
• closed -> V_out4 = GND via the switch
  
  
  This will give you information about the hand in the glove being stretched or flexed/closed, but no information about the sthrength of the grip aka the pressure exerted.
  For a more detailed analysis a datasheet from the manufacturer of this unit will be required.
