Hi
I am just posting this for anyone interested in flex sensors - I did a short writeup on my experience with the flexpoint variation, I feel like this could be usefull for some people in this forum:
Anyway, i'm happy to answer any questions you might have
Cheers
p.
Yeah I'm starting some work with flex sensor. But first I need to find out how to measure the resistance. I want to use the Serial.print function so that when i bend the flex sensor, i see the resistance in the window. How do I code that? I'm really confused. Thank you.
are you using the 2 pin or 3 pin variant ?
with 2 pins, you measure resistance with a voltage divider. google it. you will find lots of information. I (and others) have also explained it several times before in this forum.
with the 3 pin varient, you can directly connect the sensor to your board. (basically there is already a built in voltage divider)
Yea I found a website explaining it. I'm using a 2-pin. I get it now. Thanks.
Hi. How much is the resistivity of the sensor in flat position? If you could still remember.
Thanks
