The flex sensor pictured below are the sensors which change their resistance when bent
.The change is resistance is linear in forward direction ie., out of the screen in relation to the picture
below. An unflexed/unbent the sensor has a resistance few hundred ohms. As the flex sensor is
bent, the resistance increases to kilo ohms . The sensor measures 1/4 inch wide, 4-1/2 inches long
and 0.19 inches thick.
Flex Sensor
Features
The o/p of flex sensors can be amplified can be given to an ADC to get the digital value.
