About this product
A 5.6 cm (2.2 inch) flex sensor whose resistance changes with the amount of bend: the more it bends, the higher its resistance, returning to its original value when straightened. Typical resistance ranges from about 10 to 50 kΩ at a 90° bend. Used in gaming gloves, joysticks, musical instruments and assistive devices.

How do I read the flex sensor with an Arduino?
Build a voltage divider with a fixed resistor (for example 10 kΩ), connect the midpoint to an analog pin, and read it with analogRead(). The reading rises or falls with the bend, depending on how the divider is wired.
Can it be powered from 3.3 V or 5 V?
The sensor is a passive resistive element, so the voltage depends on your voltage divider and your microcontroller's ADC reference. Choose a supply voltage that matches your board's analog input range.
