This post is a refresh on the basics of reading values from a flex sensor… A flex sensor, also called a bend sensor, can be used to detect a deflection by measuring the change in resistance that ...

An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

Most synths happily get by with keyboard or pad inputs and make lovely sounds in response. [Becky Clarke] and her fellow ...

We have all heard of the automotive chip shortage; it’s the reason some used cars are still worth double what they were a couple of years ago. Generally, when the chip shortage is discussed, even in ...

Stretchable and flexible sensors from Nitto Bend Technologies find homes in a range of applications, from distortion ...

Finger Bend is a unique DIY Arduino powered textile flex sensor, created as part of the Swatch Exchange, enabling you to trigger actions by simply bending your finger. Created by the team at Willpower ...

Sensors make the Internet of Things (IoT) “go.” Typically, they’re chips or modules, but what if they could be printed? This creates all sorts of possibilities. I talked with Brewer Science’s Will ...

When [Michelle] was making a sign language translation glove, she needed a bunch of flex sensors. These flex sensors cost about $10 a pop, meaning her budget for the project was eaten up by these ...
