TouchStrip v1.2 (obsolete)

We bet there's lots to say about the TouchStrip. It's really long, for starters. Recommended for forces from 1 N (0.1 Kg, 0.2 lb) all the way upto 98 N (10 Kg, 22 lb). Active area is a strip of 60.9 cm (24.0 inch) length and 13 mm (0.50 inch) width. See this videoclip for a demo !

And look, it's part of a familiy. Here are it's relatives (note that some of these sensors have a different response curve):

Application examples

  1. Can be easily applied to a variety of flat surfaces. Eg. apply across your keyboard for more expressive control of your tones.
  2. Create a fancy control panel by combining with SlideWide, SlideLong, Push2D, TouchMiniOn and Reach sensors, to name a few.

1.2 x 104 1.8 5.00 127
Power supply 1.0 to 10 V DC, 0.1 mA at 5 V
Sensor dimensions 64 x 15 x 0.5 mm (2.5 x 0.59 x 0.02 inch)
Weight 15 g (0.5 oz), incl. cable
Cable 1.0 m (39 inch), shielded, red wire = power, black wire = ground, white wire = sensor output, maximum extension 30 m (98 ft)
Connector male plug with 3 pins in a row spaced 2.54 mm (0.100 inch)
Application notes
  1. Sensor can be cut to desired length (width cannot be changed).
  2. If the sensor shows a non-zero value at rest, flatten the sensor between two flat objects for a few days. Any bending of the sensor may result in a non-zero at-rest value. Store sensor in flat position for best results.
