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 their flexed. If they're unflexed, the resistance is about ~25KΩ. When flexed all the way the resistance rises to ~100KΩ. They're pretty similar to FSRs so following this tutorial will get you started. You can use an analog input on a micro-controller (with a pullup resistor) or a digital input with the use of a 0.1uF capacitor for RC timing. The bottom part of the sensor (where the pins are crimped on) is very delicate so make sure to have strain relief - such as clamping or gluing that part so as not to rip out the contacts!Technical Details Dimensions: * Length: 77.57mm/3.054in * Width: 6.41mm/0.2525in * Thickness: 0.48mm/0.019in * Weight: 0.27g/0.0095oz Datasheet from SpectraSymbol https://elecena.pl/product/22710789/short-flex-sensor 2023-03-06 https://elecena.pl/product/22710789/short-flex-sensor 2023-12-27 https://elecena.pl/product/22710789/short-flex-sensor 2024-09-19 https://elecena.pl/product/22710789/short-flex-sensor 2024-11-29 https://elecena.pl/product/22710789/short-flex-sensor 2024-11-30 https://elecena.pl/product/22710789/short-flex-sensor 2025-04-09 https://elecena.pl/product/22710789/short-flex-sensor 2025-08-06 https://elecena.pl/product/22710789/short-flex-sensor 2025-11-28 https://elecena.pl/product/22710789/short-flex-sensor 2025-11-29
