In this exercise, you will build a training sensor that measures the amount of flexs you do and uploads that.

Materials:

  • Arduino UNO
  • Jumper wires
  • 10k resistors (The colors on it are brown , black, orange and gold)
  • Flex sensor
  • Breadboard
  • Bluetooth module

  1. Construct the MDF parts and tape the flex sensor to your hand.
  2. Open “e4_exercise_sensor” from the examples.
  3. Upload the sketch to the Uno.
  4. Open the Serial Monitor and test it by attaching the sensor to one of your fingers and lifting the dumbbell to see the counter change.
