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 ...

So often, we use control devices for electronics that involve our fingers directly grasping, touching, or moving another object or surface. It’s less common for us to use interfaces that detect the ...

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 ...

Also known as “smart everything,” the Internet of Things (IoT) is grabbing headlines across the industry. As any great new technology, it comes wrapped in shiny paper that touts it as the solution for ...

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 ...

This sign language glove was built to translate sign language into spoken English using Machine Learning algorithm. The team used five Spectra Symbol Flex sensors to determine how much each finger is ...
