demystifying the greatest ripoff of the modern consumer sensor. excellent. I mean analog bend sensors only cost 5 bucks a pop in the mid 90s from whichever electronics supplier. what’s with this $30 average for something so simple and cheaply constructable. may the force sensitive flute projects commence!
