Description

The 1121 provides an interface to non-Phidgets resistance sensors such as: Force-Sensing Resistors (FSR), light sensors, thermistors (heat sensors), and bend sensors.

The Voltage Divider eliminates the need to connect a resistor to an analog input by putting a high precision potentiometer on the board to allow the adjustment of the ‘fixed’ resistor.

The interface to the variable resistance sensor is a convenient terminal block.

Features

• Quickly interface variable resistance sensors
• Adjustable from 1 to 21 kOhms
• Connects to a Phidgets VINT port or voltage input
• Includes 60cm Phidget Cable

The Voltage Divider Module is a practical electronics module designed for Arduino projects, voltage monitoring systems, embedded electronics, and IoT applications. This module helps reduce higher input voltages into safer levels that microcontrollers can measure accurately.

Because many electronics systems operate at voltages higher than standard microcontroller limits, the module provides a safe and reliable voltage scaling solution. In addition, the compact design makes installation easier in prototype systems and embedded circuits.

Many students, makers, and engineers use this module for battery monitoring, sensor interfacing, and automation systems. You can also combine it with Arduino UNO R3 for analog voltage measurement projects.
