Flex Sensor

A flex sensor is a sensor that measures the amount of deflection or bending. Usually the sensor is stuck to a surface; the resistance of sensor element is varied by bending the surface. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. The resistance of the flex sensor changes when the metal pads are on the ide of the bend.

FEATURES: -Flex length is 2.2 inch. -Simple construction -Low profile -Compact and robust -Effective measurement -Conductive sensor film -Carbon as conductive component -Defect free good adhesion substrate

PROCEDURE: Flex sensor achieves great form-factor on a thin flexible substrate. Initially, the sensor produces a resistance value as 26k ohm by default. The sensor is bent along a smaller angle of 45degree, then there is a slight increase in the resistance value up to 30k ohm. The sensor is then bent to a larger angle of 90degree, the resistance value increases further to 35k ohm. Thus the resistance increases gradually according to the angle by which it is bent.

APPLICATIONS:

Angle Displacement Measurement Bends and Flexes physically with motion device Possible Uses – Robotics – Gaming (Virtual Motion) Medical Devices Computer Peripherals Musical Instruments Fitness products

Working of the Flex Sensor Module

The gif above shows the Arduino Flex Sensor working. At first, you can see the intensity of the LED on the breadboard is very low but when we bend the sensor a little bit, the intensity of the LED increases. This is how you can see the flex sensor is working exactly as we wanted it to be. You can know more about Flex Sensor Module here

In this paper, we present the mechanism which will be helpful for an individual to cope up with the Rehabilitation exercises. Mechanism proposed here will be useful for assisting human being in case of the Hand Rehabilitation. We propose to design a pair of soft wearable hand glove which comfortably fits on the human hand. One hand will be the Motion detection Glove which includes the Flex Sensors and the other is the assistive hand used for performing the Rehabilitation exercises. Basically our designed glove could be used for robotic orthosis.

There are some people who don't have the ability to speak or they lose it in an accident. They find it difficult to express their thoughts or to convey their message to other people. This project can be a medium between dumb-deaf people and society. Dumb people throughout the world use sign language to communicate with others; this is possible only for those who have undergone special trainings. Common people also face difficult to understand the gesture language. To overcome these real time issues, we are developing this system. This reduces the communication gap between dumb and ordinary people. In our project we are using glove with sensors to recognize gestures. The goal of the project is to design a fully functional and useful real world system that efficiency translates hand gestures into words. In our proposed model we have used flex sensor, an accelerometer, processing unit, speaker unit and display unit.

New GitHub repository

As part of the instruments development we’ve set up a new GitHub repository for the code. It’s opensource.

How long until this is a widely-used input method?  I want a flexible display that knows how you are bending it.  Then I want to write games for it.
