Force sensitive sensor with kc868-A - Elgatoguiri - 06-26-2026

Hi!

I have a Force sensitive resistor: https://www.aliexpress.com/p/order/index.html?spm=a2g0o.home.headerAcount.2.650c76dbGk3szT

I'd like to know if it's possible to directly connect it to the board and use it as switch in esphome. 

Thanks!

I don't think so. I haven't tried. It's supposedly be a force sensor. Detects the change of resistance when pressure is applied on the surface. I press it with my finger then it detects the change of resistance.

it can't connect to pcb directly, you need convert to analog 0-5v signal for kincony board.
