Long Flex sensor
Availability
In stock
This sensor can detect flexing or bending in one direction. They were popularized by being used in the Nintendo PowerGlove as a gaming interface.These sensors are easy to use, they are basically resistors that change value based on how much they're flexed.
Pinout
- Terminal 1
One of the two crimped terminals of the flex sensor. Adafruit describes the device as a resistor whose resistance changes with flexing, about 10 kΩ unflexed and about 20 kΩ fully flexed.
Type · variable resistor terminal - Terminal 2
Other crimped terminal of the flex sensor. Use with a pull-up resistor to an analogue input or with a capacitor for RC timing per Adafruit guidance.
