How to Use Flex Sensor 2.2 Bend Sensor for Hand Gesture Recognition
Plug the 0.1 spaced connector into your breadboard or solder directly, then form a voltage divider using a fixed resistor (recommended 10 KΩ) and the flex sensor. Connect the divider output to an analog input on your microcontroller, power the circuit at 5 V, and map the analog readings in your code to translate resistance changes into bend angles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect this sensor to an Arduino?
Use a 10 KΩ resistor to form a voltage divider: connect one end of the flex sensor to 5 V, its other end to the analog input and the fixed resistor, then ground the resistor’s free end. Read the analog value and map it to bend angle in your code.
What resistor value should I pair with the sensor?
A 10 KΩ fixed resistor provides a balanced voltage divider with the sensor’s 10 KΩ flat resistance, yielding good linearity across the bending range.
How many bending cycles can the sensor withstand?
The sensor is rated for over 1 million flex cycles, ensuring reliable performance in repetitive gesture-recognition applications.
