  // 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 = new upm::Flex(0);
