All about the product
Sparkfun's flex sensor. Its resistance increases when it is deformed, changing the size of the bending arc, e.g. when bending a finger. This type of sensor was used in the famous gaming glove “Power Glove” for the NES game console. The sensor connectors are ready to be placed on standard breadboards, so no soldering is required to use it, but it is advisable to do so, because the sensor is designed to be moved a lot, so without a solid contact it may not work properly.
Note: The sensor is designed to be bent so that the text on the sensor is on the inside of the bend. The sensor should not be bent at the base, only at the parts marked with stripes.
