Description

The LEGO® Technic™ Force Sensor is precise and reliable, able to capture pressures of up to 10 Newtons (~1kg). Moreover, it can detect a touch when pressed, released, or impacted.

Key Features

  • Touch Sensing
  • Tap Sensing
  • Force Sensing
  • The sensor has a Technic build geometry that allows for versatile building and easy integration into models.
Specifications
  • Connector Type: LEGO® Power Functions 2.0 (LPF2) for connection to LEGO Smarthubs
  • Wire Length: 250 mm (fixed to sensor)
  • Sensor Sample Rate: 100 Hz

Sensor Input

Touch Sensing

  • Activation Zone: 0-2 mm
  • Threshold point is defined in firmware 1 mm +/- 0.5 mm
  • Activation Force: 0.5-1.0 newton +/- 10%
  • Sensor output is binary (1=activated or 0=not activated)

Tap Sensing

  • Activation Zone: 0-2 mm
  • Threshold point is defined in firmware 1 mm +/- 0.5 mm
  • Activation Force: 0.5-1.0 newton +/- 10%
  • Sensor Data Output: 0-3
  • Applicable to the following:
    • Single Tap
    • Quick Tap
    • Press and Hold

Force Sensing

  • Activation Zone: 2-8 mm
  • Activation Force: 2.5-10 newtons
  • Sensor Output Resolution: 0.1 newton steps
  • Sensor Output is limited to a fixed max output value: 10 newtons
  • Sensor Output Accuracy: +/- 0.65 newton

Force-filter sensing (high speed “peak” sensing)

  • Like the force sensing mode
  • Internal Sensor Sample Rate: 1 kHz
  • Keeps the maximum value until reset by the Hub firmware or powered down
