Hello,

Why was this Bend Labs Digital Flex Sensor - 2-Axis retired ? Was is faulty?

Is the 1-Axis version ok or will be also retired soon?

Thanks

I think bendlabs has stopped its production for some reason. The product exists here on their website but if you go to digikey and mouser through the given links, you’ll see the products are out of stock in both stores. https://www.bendlabs.com/products/2-axi … ex-sensor/

However, if you consider using something simple you can go for Flex Sensor 4.5" https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8606

Here is a cool data glove made with these sensors. https://www.pcbway.com/project/sharepro … 33aa2.html
