fingering pin

Dear forum members,

It seems this is the right place for the following question…

I’m dealing with a project which closely based on arduino. I’m a beginer to use these stuff and its quite possible that I’m overlooking something quite obvious. Would you please take a moment to look over our proposal. Your foresight may help me avoid wasting precious time and money. Thanks!

I want to achieve these below,

  1. arduino recognize finger gesture
    arduino can recoginize finger gesture as a certain number. please see the diagramm.

    A friend suggest me to buy some flex sensors attached to the glove. Then coding in arduino to set each gesture a number.

  2. arduino with flash.
    Each time I change the finger gesture, flash will receive the message and show corresponding number. I check it on arduino site.
    It seems I need some code in both arduino and flash.

Can some one code one demo for me??

I already purchace these below:

5 flex sensors

1 Catalyst Pack with Seeeduino Board

Do i miss something??

Actually I’m struggling a lot in a project for pin entering experience. Here’s some links of WIP.

sounds like you would want to use an analog read function on the microcontroller. Looks like the microcontroller behind arduino has 6 analog pins.

arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Potentiometer

In that example the pot is in a position to change the input voltage between 5 and 0.
I think what you’ll want is to put one pin of the sensor to 5v and the other to the input pin.
