519 - Conductive Rubber Cord Stretch Sensor + extras!
Description
Measuring stretch forces isnt easy - unless you have some conductive rubber cord! This cord is 2mm diameter, and 1 meter long, made of carbon-black impregnated rubber. Usually this material is used for EMF gasketing, but its also very fun to play with.
In a relaxed state, the resistance is about 350 ohms per inch. As you pull on it, the resistance increases (the particles get further apart). As you stretch it out, the resistance increases linearly. So lets say you have a 6" piece - thats about 2.1 Kohms. Stretch it to 10" long and now it is 10"/6"*2.1K = 3.5 Kohms. You can stretch the rubber about 50-70% longer than the resting length, so a 6" piece shouldnt be stretched more than 10". Once the force is released, the rubber will shrink back, although its not very fast and it takes a minute or two to revert to its original length.
This stuff is fun, so we give you a full meter and also two alligator clips (to connect to the cord) and a 10K resistor. Together, you can use these to make a simple voltage divider. Then use our handy Thermistor tutorial to measure the analog voltage and convert that back to resistance.

Adafruit 1088
High-quality conductive thread that allows easy sewing by hand or machine, making it an ideal choice for e-textile projects. Coated with a nano-layer of silver, the thread has low resistance that stabilizes after sewing, and its conductivity is uniform along its entire length, eliminating the risk of non-conductive sections. Additionally, the thread is durable, does not fray and can be used in standard sewing machines, making it practical and easy to use. Kitronik 2722
