The bend sensor turns on as you flex the long strip. To send signal to your output Bits, bend the strip down, towards the Bit's feet. But make sure not to crease it: that could damage your Bit! In this experiment we placed a clothespin on the bend sensor, which caused the bend sensor to wavier back and forth. This created a pulsing effect in the buzzer that was attached to it.
