Your force sensor needs to be connected to a 900-268 module. The 900-268 module will create a closed Edu-logger WiFi network which will stream the Edu- logger data to a device of your choosing. Once your device is wirelessly connected to the Edu-logger network you can run experiments and collect data through a browser of your choosing.

Materials needed: 900-211 Force Sensor 900-272 Viewing Module 900-215 Battery Procedure: Connect the force sensor to the left side of the viewer. Connect the 900-215 module to the right side of the viewer. The 900-272 will auto detect the sensor and you will see it appear on the left side of the screen.

Pulling or pushing the hooks bends very little the metal rod, changes the strain gauge resistances and the amplifier output voltage. This voltage is converted into force (N) by the sensor controller. Maintenance and storage: Never submerge the Edu-logger plastic body in any liquid...
Do not allow liquid into the Edu-logger plastic body. After using the probe, wipe off all excess material, liquid or residue from the sensor. Store in a box at room temperature out of direct sunlight. Avoid storing with weight applied directly to the sensor.
