I like it. Can you buy these easily/cheaply, or more of a salvage-only thing? Seems like maybe 4 of them spread around going could give full coverage on a wide door mat.
Hello! Very clever repurpose. Is there a way that I can connect this sensor to a PC and use it for a different purpose? I’m thinking to connect this via USB but I assume that won’t directly work. I would appreciate if you help me out.
I never get any visitors so I don’t need that, but I could make a car alarm out of one. When the bad guy sits on the seat it could trigger a device that releases toxic gas that kills him 💀
Hi, very clever reporpouse. I'd like to know what you measure out of the sensor, is it resistance, or voltage? Also, does it needs voltage in input to work?. All is because on something similar but I don't know much about electronics. Thank you.
Do you have any idea what the voltage rating is of the Car Seat Sensor is? I bought 3 of them to do a similar project but I can't find any docs on them anywhere.
@@benedictpng1343 the red from the car seat goes to Arduino red 5 v directly and the black diverts to an analog pin and then to a resistor to finally get to the ground of Arduino. I think they call it voltage divider.

I purchased mine from AliExpress

@@ke6chris thank you
You could place a hard flat surface under the doormat so the pressure is applied more evenly throughout it. Luckily I get mine for free at work.

Justo estoy trabajando en ello. 😂
what is the working voltage?
Very thank you sear

I think it outputs voltage based on the change in resistance, and yes i think it needs voltage input probably 5V
can anyone tell how accurate is this?

They are tied into the cars computer, I assume its rated for 3 to 5 volts.
I have one attached to an Arduino (either 5 or 3.3 volts) using volage divider and I can get its analog inputs consistently on pressures applied.
@@justoaguiar2514Hi sir, can I know how you connect the car seat pressure sensor to arduino is it the same connection as a normal fsr402 sensor
