“Flex sensors are neat little things that can tell when something flexes,” he wrote. The 2.2 flex sensor is the type of flex sensor we will be introduced to, the uses of the flex sensor and what it is used for.
The 2.2 flex sensor is a resistor in a small package that can tell how much it is bent. This will let it gauge how much it has been bent. These sensors are used in robots, prosthetics and other wearable technology.
Fortunately, you can calibrate the very unit on a 2.2 flex sensor. To calibrate it, first: make sure it is straight and take a reading. Then bend it as far as you can and take another reading. You can then adjust the sensor to measure bending properly by noting the difference between these two readings.
Resistance values ranging from 10K to about 80K ohms. It is able to be bent for over 1 million times in one circle, and around the 40mm circle. These figures give the 2.2 flex sensor some serious muscle and reliability for so many applications.
One cool application for the 2.2 flex sensor is in wearables. Attach the sensor to a glove or a sleeve and it can measure how your hand or arm moves. This information could be used to control devices and could make wearables more fun and easier to use.
The 2.2 flex sensor is no exception; in some cases it can become problematic. Signal noise is another issue that arises when there is interference. To remedy that, put a conductive material in front of the sensor. The other common problem is sensor drift, in which the readings slowly fluctuate over a period of time. In order to correct sensor drift, you must keep the sensor accurate, so recalibrate it periodically.
