4.5 Inch Flex Sensor For Robot/ Virtual Motion Gaming / Musical Instruments / Computer Periphera

Descriptions: A simple flex sensor 4.5 inch in length made by SPARKFUN. 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. Check datasheet for full specifications. Features: 1. Angle Displacement Measurement 2. Bends and Flexes physically with motion device 3. Possible Uses 4. Robotics 5. Gaming (Virtual Motion) 6.
