Flex Sensor with Arduino Uno

Components

  • Arduino Uno Board [x1]
  • Breadboard [x1]
  • Flex Sensor (2 in, 30k (straight) to 100k (bent) ohm) [x1]
  • 100k ohm Resistor [x1]
  • Male-to-Male Jumper Wire [x5]

Common Issues

  • Depending on the flex sensor's resistance, we will need a resistor with the sensor's maximum possible resistance for the voltage divider circuit.
    • To get the flat resistance, use a multimeter on the unbent flex sensor.
    • To get the bend resistance, use a multimeter on the flex sensor after bending it 90 degrees.
