The Bend Labs Digital Flex Sensors are an innovative solution for measuring motion, providing a unique alternative to existing sensor technologies for measuring a highly accurate and drift-free angular displacement in a soft form factor while maintaining extremely low power consumption. Constructed using highly durable, medical grade silicone elastomers, this is a two axis bidirectional sensor which measures two angles in orthogonal planes for 3D orientation. Where previous flex sensors required analog-to-digital conversion and had delicate connection points, this digital flex sensor has a built-in microcontroller with an easy to use I2C interface. Its low-power, integrated analog front end provides angular displacement data in degrees and includes onboard calibration.
Nice integer underflow bug in the max detection at the end. Thumbs up for including that!
Great video Rob!! Had a quick questions. Can you cut the sensor or trim it to make it shorter?
The versions of these that I see for sale have an odd end that I'm not familiar with; not USB. How does someone hook these up to a computer and get the output?
Great demo and product, Rob. These sensors cannot be licensed for AR/VR use for some reason. Are there any other companies out there making flex sensors using this technique or is it completely proprietary to Bend Labs?
Interesting product and great presentation. Might want to proofread the specs. Calibration was spelled wrong and the current drain should not have that "h" at the end.
Thank you for catching that! We will adjust accordingly in the future
Does the sensing quality degrade over time as you bend it over and over for years?
thats my idol Rob Reynolds....
Holy smokes that's expensive!
but accurate, old flex sensors sucks
