Flex Sensor 2.2 inch Hand Gesture Recognition Bend Sensor for Arduino

The flex sensor is a bend sensor for hang gesture recognition. It is a type of variable resistor. The technology of the flex sensor is based on resistive carbon elements. The sensor detects the gesture through variation in resistance value. Its resistance increases when a body of component bends. Its radius is smaller, so it gives higher resistance value.
