Flex Sensor 2.2" Bend Sensor
The Flex Sensor 2.2" Bend Sensor is a lightweight and highly responsive sensor designed to measure bending or flexing movements by changing its electrical resistance. As the sensor bends, its resistance increases, allowing microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other development boards to detect and measure the amount of flex. Its compact 2.2-inch size makes it ideal for wearable electronics, robotics, gesture recognition, gaming controllers, and motion-tracking applications.
