Software support					Our SensePlay software is a very easy way to quickly map sensor data to (sequences of) sounds, images and videos using a drag & drop user interface. Our EditorX software allows you to configure the digitizer to process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously. Our Link software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously. Our SensorX software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the data of a single sensor.
Application notes					Connect the sensor to the bottom 3 rows of an input slot of a digitizer input/output connector, where the labeled black side of the sensor flat cable should be to the left when facing the digitizer input/output connector. The output is a high value (127) when no force is applied and low (around 40) when a force is applied that closes the contact of the switch. The LED is on when the contact is closed.
