Flex Sensor 2.2″ Bend Sensor for Hand Gesture Recognition
Flex Sensor 2.2″ Bend Sensor for Hand Gesture Recognition.
A flex sensor is a a kind of sensor which is used to measure the amount of defection otherwise bending. The designing of this sensor can be done by using materials like plastic and carbon. The carbon surface is arranged on a plastic strip as this strip is turned aside then the sensor’s resistance will be changed. Thus, it is also named a bend sensor. As its varying resistance can be directly proportional to the quantity of turn thus it can also be employed like a goniometer.
