That would be a very simple change to make in the code, just keep the existing structure and change the appropriate HIGH/LOW in the digitalWrite statements.
Hi - you would need to create your own calibration curve to do this (measure the circumference of various cylinders using something like a piece of string and a ruler, and correlate this to the analog measurement from the Arduino).
Sir, I am an 8th-grade student working on a project to convert sign language into vocal output for people with voice impairments. I am experiencing issues with my flex sensor: sometimes the readings exceed 1000 or drop below 50, leading to inconsistent values that prevent me from setting a reliable threshold. Additionally, when I bend the flex sensor, it shows values like 981 or 986, but instead of increasing with the bend, the values decrease. How can I resolve this problem?
Hi - if you are seeing large jumps in your flex sensor reading instead of a steady, continuous change as you gently flex it, you may have a loose electrical connection or a frayed/broken internal connection on the sensor itself that is giving intermittent contact. This could happen if at some point the sensor was bent too sharply and it kinked.
We can't really help you through RUclips comments, but our debugging video has some tips that might help: ruclips.net/video/9GLaU-BCEQM/видео.htmlsi=uByhoITJIAydCfCj
Very cool. Should be a good way to control musical instruments.
4:57 Switch statement?
Which sensor can be used to measure wrist circumference using Arduino?
I would probably light up the LED one at a time, switching between them progressively instead of lighting them up cumulatively.

Thank you..@@Science.Buddies
I wonder if this setup can be used as a toggle light switch?
The bending of the flex sensor is more continuous, so it doesn't work very well as a toggle switch that snaps into one of two positions.
@@Science.Buddies Ah, good to know. Thanks for the reply.

Hi, which software are using for simulation sir??
It's a free program called Tinkercad Circuits, we have a tutorial about it here: ruclips.net/video/9RF_BZ1Cg4k/видео.htmlsi=jvAwNyz2i46j2HnK
..@Science.Buddies Um, so i have the same sensor and the same code, but whatever i do the value remains constant, can you please help with this

which flex sesnor is that?
