Flex Sensor 2.2
The flex sensor is a bend detecting sensor that has got numerous applications in robotics, medical and haptic technology. The resistance of these sensors changes in accordance with the bend, which can be measured using any microcontroller.
A simple flex sensor 2.2" in length. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. The resistance of the flex sensor changes when the metal pads are on the outside of the bend (text on inside of bend). Connector is 0.1" spaced and bread board friendly.

How to avoid damaging the flex sensor?
The base of the sensor is sensitive to bending and may get damaged. Make sure that you bend only the sensing area.
