  <p>Now to obtain that .ev3b file, you need to know from which vendor it was bought. Likely the file can be downloaded from their website. We could help you further if you could specify either the vendor or post a picture of the sensor.</p>

Answers.Text: +1, but I'm kind of assuming this "sensor" is made with the existing parts or electronics from the original set (ie the large motor, but it can't accurately detect "force"). Based on the context of the question, I doubt the user can get his hands on a custom 3rd-party snesor, especially since it's apparently a school project. or maybe im wrong

Answers.Text: I think it actually more likely for a school teacher to buy a force sensor than a hobbyist. Can be used to teach various scientific principles in a STEM course...
