Flex Sensor 2.2 Inches – Bend Sensor for Arduino & DIY Projects - AB604

Description:

The Flex Sensor 2.2 Inches is a resistive sensor that detects bending movements. As the sensor bends, its resistance increases, providing an analog signal that can be read by microcontrollers like Arduino. This sensor is ideal for applications in robotics, wearable technology, and interactive devices.
