1Gather All Materials
- 3x Resistive Flex Sensor by Spectra Symbol.
- 2x 56k ohm resistor
- 1x 10k ohm resistor
- 1x 24k ohm resistor
- Perfboard to cut into small pieces.
- Solid Wire, 24 AWG

2Make output section
a. Cut a small piece of 6 hole x 6 hole perfboard that is big enough to contain a resistor, and 5 wires.
b. Place 56k resistor into perfboard.
c. Decide which holes will be used for output node, vcc node, and ground node.
d. Connect vcc node to one end of 56k resistor and output node to other end of resistor.
e. Add wire for external connection for vcc node, output node, and ground node.
f. Solder connections if you are sure of your decision for the connections.

3Make Flex sections
a. Cut a small piece of 5 hole x 2 hole perfboard that is big enough to contain a resistor, flex sensor, and 2 wires.
b. Place resistor into perfboard.(10k for section 0, 24k for section 1, 56k for section 3)
c. Place flex sensor into board.
d. Connect resistor and flex sensor in parallel.
e. Connect one end of resistor to previous section with wire.
f. Connect next end of resistor to next section with wire.
If at the last flex section, then connect next end of resistor to ground node of output section with wire.
g. Solder connections if you are sure of your decision for the connections.
