Final sensor!!!
Flexi sensor...

Figure 1 : This is flexi force.

What is flexi force??
 unique component that changes resistance when bent.

Figure 2: Flexi force can be bent.

 An un-flexed sensor has a nominal resistance of 10,000 ohms (10 K). As the flex sensor is bent in either direction the resistance gradually decreases. They convert the change in bend to electrical resistance - the more the bend, the more the resistance value.

 On MyDuino,have 2 length,those are "4.5" and "2.2" with different prices.

Figure 3: Flexi force "4.5" in length with RM65.00

Figure 4: Flexi force in length "2.2" with RM45.00

Application :
 gaming gloves, auto controls, fitness products, measuring devices, assistive technology, musical instruments, joysticks, and more.
