Conductive Rubber Cord Stretch Sensor Arduino
Usually this material is used for emf gasketing but its also very fun to play with.
Conductive rubber cord stretch sensor arduino. Adafruit conductive rubber cord stretch sensor extras. Diy breath sensor with arduino conductive knitted stretch sensor. This amazing cord will act as a variable resistor and will change in resistance as it is stretched or released. 5 a 1k resistor.
This diy sensor will take the form of a conductive knitted stretch sensor. Adafruit industries unique fun diy electronics and kits conductive rubber cord stretch sensor extras. Stretch sensors are very simple and quite similar in design to flex sensors. This cord is 2mm diameter and 1 meter long made of carbon black impregnated rubber.
A place for all things arduino. A conductive length of rubber is connected to a voltage divider circuit and the resistance or the rubber changes as it stretches or relaxes to its original state. Hi i am working on a project where i want to measure how much skin stretches as a result of swelling. 519 measuring stretch forces isn t easy unless you have some conductive rubber cord.
Today i m going to show you how you can get output using your nodemcu esp 8266 but it s also useful for other prototyping tools like arduino as well. On kate s suggestion i explored using a stretch sensor to communicate with arduino and processing. Usually this material is used for emf gasketing but its also very fun to play with in a 39 relaxed 39. It does this with a force sensing resistor and stretch sensor a conductive rubber cord to detect jumping and ducking and uses an arduino mkr board since it supports the keyboard library other boards that can be used as a keyboard are the leonardo esplora zero due and the mkr family.
4 0 out of 5 stars 5 ratings. 2 conductive rubber cord. I am thinking about using a strain gauge as shown in the picture an module like hx711 or similar and an arduino to monitor how the swelling develops but i am a newbee in electronics so any suggestions if such setup can work. Adafruit s rubber cord stretch sensor provides an easy way to measure stretch forces.
It will wrap around your chest stomach and when your chest stomach expands and contracts so will the sensor and consequently the input data that is fed to the arduino. Frequently bought together. Product description measuring stretch forces isn t easy unless you have some conductive rubber cord. Tragoods heart rate monitor sensor for arduino pulse sensor plug in for arduino pulse sensor pulsesensor sensor module 3 5 out of 5 stars 13.
