Flex Sensor
After quite a long time, I managed to construct my very own "Flex Sensor".
You can see it in this video, I made a prototype, using some speaker wire,
electrical tape and "Velostat", which is a material used for electrostatic protective bags. And you can see the resistance changing when I bend and straight the sensor.
After I cleared this project, I ordered an "Arduino Mega 2560" microcontroller board, which I'll be connecting the sensors to. You can check it out on http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMega2560
So now I just need to build 15 of these sensors, sew them to a glove, and then connect them to the board.
Wish me luck
