Multi-Axis Force Torque Sensor Kit Kit with Arduino Uno
Multi-Axis Force Torque Sensor Kit with Arduino Uno for Force Vector Visualization
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine controlling a robotic gripper with just a finger press — this kit lets you build a 4-point force sensing platform that translates pressure patterns into direction vectors on a colour TFT display. Ideal for mechatronics projects, human-machine interfaces, and experimental physics, the system captures magnitude and angle from four FSR sensors arranged in a cross. You’ll create a tool that brings abstract force vectors to life, exactly what advanced engineering students and hobbyists need for sensor fusion research.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble four FSR 402 force-sensitive resistors in a precise cross pattern on a PCB and connect them to an Arduino Uno. The 1.8-inch TFT screen will render a dynamic arrow that rotates and scales in real time based on the calculated force vector. Data from the DS3231 RTC and microSD module will time-stamp readings for later analysis. The result is a compact, portable force-torque sensing station that can be reconfigured for various two-dimensional force measurement tasks.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrate FSR sensors and design signal conditioning circuits with 10kΩ resistors and 100nF capacitors for low-noise analogue inputs.
- Program the ST7735 TFT display to render dynamic vector graphics using the Arduino graphics library.
- Implement vector mathematics and force distribution algorithms to compute resultant direction and magnitude from four sensor inputs.
- Solder components onto a prototype PCB and manage a soldering iron safely to create a rugged, reusable sensor board.

Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Every kit box contains a QR code to an AI companion that guides you through each step. You can also message us on WhatsApp for a human engineer — the number is inside the box.
Can I adapt this kit for a robotic gripper force feedback project?
Yes, the FSR cross pattern is ideal for measuring grasping forces. Mounting the sensors on a gripper finger mechanism lets you extract pinch force magnitude and direction, a common project in mechatronics coursework.
Does this kit include a soldering iron and solder?
Yes, a basic soldering iron and a coil of solder wire are included. You can assemble the sensor board without purchasing any additional tools.
Do I need an external power supply?
A 9V battery snap with a DC barrel jack is provided to power the Arduino Uno. While a 9V battery is not included, you can also use a standard USB cable if you prefer.
