Flex sensors are unique little tools that know when they are bent. When the flex sensor becomes bent, the resistive value increases. This variation can be detected to determine the amount the sensor is bent.
If you’d like to use flex sensors in your projects, keep these tips in mind. The sensor should be used in combination with an external microcontroller (such as computer and mobile phone), which can detect changes through already program software. Then, you will write code that reads the sensor’s data and uses it to control other parts of your project.
One huge advantage of flex sensors is that they are simple to use. You can 3D print them out and use them on a whole host of other projects. But they have some downsides. For instance, they might not be as precise as other sensors, and if you bend them too many times, they can wear out.
Several times you should check your flex sensors to know that they are working well. That means orienting them such that they return accurate measurements when bent. And make sure your sensors are extra clean so they can function properly.
Flex sensors are used frequently in wearable technology, such as fitness trackers and smart clothing. They can monitor movement and activity, enabling gadgets to see how active a person is. They can also be used to operate electronic equipment by a gesture, and are therefore valuable tools for wearable technology.
