Flex sensor 5.5 cm (2.2")

Resistive flex sensor - length 5.5 cm (2.2 inch). The stronger the sensor will be bent, the bigger its resistance will be. This way, the bend level can be simply measured with Arduino's analog input

Warning: only the active part of the sensor should be bent. If you'll repeatedly bend the part near to the connectors, it may break soon.
