Chapter 2 Glove Implementation 13 Flexible Sensor

2-3 Flexible Sensor
2.3.4 Testing Flex sensor.
Testing with AVO meter.
The simplest way to test the flex sensor is by using an AVO meter,
we connect the pins of the Flex sensor directly to the probes of
AVO. When the sensor is straight, its resistance is about 10KΩ,
figure 2.11 shows this case.

                                       

                                                    Fig 2.11 when the sensor is straight



 
When the sensor is bent away from the straight mode and reach to
the maximum bending, it’s resistance is increased to about 20KΩ
(see fig 2.12).
