Educational Flex Sensor for Arduino or Raspberry Pi | tecno4 | Scoop.it

A flex sensor changes its electrical resistance as it is bent. It can detect how far an object is bent or moved. For example, look for projects that use flex sensors to control a robotic hand.

The sensor is made from a five-layered “sandwich” of thin materials. This Instructable is for students and science teachers who need simple and inexpensive flex sensors for experiments. It is easy to connect to an Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
