Hi! I'm very new and for now unexperienced in the Arduino community! And since I'm very interested in every aspect of the programming process and connecting different parts to the board, I just found out on the internet there is a flex sensor which can be connected to the board and used to monitor different stats. The problem is that I did not find any information on what specificaly you can measure and where such gadget can find use. Thanks in advance for the answers!
Post a link to the sensor in question
It's a flex sensor. You can use it to measure flex.
This is an example of using a flex sensor with an Arduino Uno. When doing these projects it's important to understand what is happening. In the linked example consider a flex sensor is a variable resistor. As we apply a force (flex) the resistance changes. In the linked example you can note that there is a 10K resistor in series with the flex sensor so now you have a fixed resistor and variable resistor acting as a voltage divider. We apply a varying voltage to an analog input pin and measure it. While these projects can be fun and interesting it's important to understand what is happening and why. The same is true of the code samples floating around out there on the web. The linked example is a good one for starting out because the code uses a few functions.

Thanks for the useful information you all!
