Nice addition for your wearable/sensor hacking toolkit
Pressure-sensitive
Handy for making flexible sensors
The Pressure-Sensitive Conductive Sheet (Velostat/Linqstat) is a nice addition to 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 an 11"x11" (28cm x 28cm) 4mil (0.1mm) thick piece. You can fold the sheet into quarters to ship. To remove any hard creases, simply lay flat on a table and put a heavy book on top to flatten it out.
