Flex Sensor 2.2″ Bend Sensor for Hand Gesture Recognition

Flex Sensor 2.2″: Precision Bend Sensor for Hand Gesture Recognition

The Flex Sensor 2.2" is a highly versatile bend-detecting sensor designed for a multitude of advanced applications. This innovative sensor precisely measures physical bending, translating motion into measurable resistance changes. Its resistance increases proportionally as the sensor flexes, providing accurate data for your projects. Easily interface this data with any microcontroller, making it simple to integrate into your electronic designs. It is particularly well-suited for hand gesture recognition, enabling intuitive control and interaction. Beyond gestures, it finds extensive use in robotics, medical devices, and haptic technology. Featuring a breadboard-friendly 0.1" spaced connector, it ensures straightforward prototyping. Engineered for durability, this sensor boasts a life cycle of over 1 million bends. Please note that the sensor's base is sensitive; ensure bending occurs only in the designated sensing area. This Flex Sensor is an essential component for any project requiring precise angle displacement measurement and motion sensing.
