Detailed Description

• ID: flex
• Name: Resistive Flex Sensor
• Category: flexfor
• Manufacturer: sparkfun
• Link: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8606

    // The was tested with a Spectra Symbol flex sensor.
    // We attached a 22K resistor to a breadboard,
    // with 1 end attached to GND and the other connected to
    // both the flex sensor and A0.
    // The flex sensor was connected on 1 pin to the 22K resistor and A0
    // and on the other pin to 5V.

    // Instantiate a Flex sensor on analog pin A0
    upm::Flex flex(0);

    while (shouldRun) {
        cout << "Flex value: " << flex.value() << endl;
        upm_delay(1);
    }
