Flex sensor is, as a name suggest, it’s a flexible 2 to 4-inch long strip. One of such sensor widely used for detecting hand gestures, especially using fingers, is the flex sensor. The special sensors are used to detect and record human gestures and movements. So how these things work as per human gestures? Like the robo-vehicle moves forward-reverse-left-right as per hand gestures or the robotic arm makes a movement as the real human hand moves or the drone flies as per hand movements and gestures. You may have heard off or seen gesture controlled robo vehicle, gesture controlled drone, gesture-controlled robotic arm, gesture controlled wheelchair, etc. All the links to social is given at the right side of this page.You all may be aware of the gesture-controlled robot. Also you can talk with me and the community through discord. If thing doesn’t work as intended then check connections and code.
The more sharp and fast you bend the flex sensor, the motor will move accordingly.ġ1. As it bends, the servo motor will move its shaft. For this project, just take your flex sensor and start bending it.
#Flex sensor servo motor arduino code#
Once code compiles and uploads smoothly, you can start testing the working of your circuit/project.ġ0. I have given proper connections and code but still nothing is perfect.ĩ. Compile the code again once to check if errors are fixed.
Also check if there are no spelling/syntax errors in the code. If any error occurs then try to troubleshoot it by finding/copy-pasting it into our Solve Errors page, or you can straight up paste the error on Internet and you know the rest. (If you don’t know what this all is then watch our video: ).Ĩ. Select a proper port, proper Arduino type and whatever other settings are. Connect the Arduino to your Computer/device. If you know Arduino IDE then straight up copy the code we given and paste it into the Arduino IDE sketch.Ħ. If you are new to Arduino IDE software, then watch this video we made specially for beginners about Arduino IDE.ĥ.
#Flex sensor servo motor arduino download#
Now after building the circuit, download the Arduino IDE from website.Ĥ.
But before soldering components on a PCB or printing a PCB for your circuit, better try using breadboard so that any errors and mistakes can be observed on breadboard and not after soldering. If you are new to connecting components in an electronic circuit, then use a Breadboard or you can straight up make connections using Jumper wires but it will create problem when there will be two or more connections needed at one pin (for example two or more different sensors 5V connection to Arduino’s 5V pin). I buy electronics components mostly from Amazon.Ģ. This allows for the creation of a flexible, interactive system that can respond to changes in its environment. In this project, the Arduino Nano is used to read the flex sensor’s input and control the position of the servo motor based on that input. It is also compatible with a wide range of shields and sensors, making it a versatile choice for a variety of projects. The Nano can be powered via the USB connection or an external power supply. It is based on the ATmega328P microcontroller and has a similar set of features to the Arduino Uno, including 14 digital input/output pins, 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, and a USB connection for programming and power. The Arduino Nano is a compact, breadboard-friendly version of the popular Arduino microcontroller platform.
