Adafruit Pressure-Sensitive Conductive Sheet (Velostat/Linqstat)

Adafruit Pressure-Sensitive Conductive Sheet (Velostat/Linqstat) info

Pressure-Sensitive Conductive Sheet (Velostat/Linqstat) is a nice addition for your wearable/sensor hacking toolkit. It's pressure-sensitive: squeezing it will reduce the resistance, so it's handy for making flexible sensors. And it's a lot less expensive than off-the-shelf pressure or bend sensors too. Each order comes with a 11"x11" (28cm x 28cm) 8mil (0.2mm) thick piece. The sheet may be folded into quarters before shipping. To remove any hard creases, simply lay flat on a table and put a heavy book on top to flatten it out.
