Troubleshooting our circuit

By -







































We started by removing any shorts on the circuit board using a soldering iron. We found the the total resistance of the circuit was only around 5V which indicated that there was still a short. We found that some of the tracks on the circuit board were not cut correctly. We cut the tracks and found that the resistance of the circuit had increased to 18(kiloohms).

We connected the circuit to the micrometer again and it didn't crash. We did however get some invalid readings of 0V on some of the outputs. We noticed that the variable resistor was not connected to a positive voltage supply so we soldered on a wire that connected the positive voltage rail to the variable resistor. The outputs no longer read 0V but they were fluctuating between 0V and 0.99V.

Designing the placement of flex sensors on the gloves

Jonathan Sims , in charge of this design drew the placement allocations for the flex sensors in order to help when we decide to glue the flex sensors to the gloves. This was done using visible markers on the gloves. There was a test glove where we glued some of the flex sensors to test the effect and the flexibility of the glue when we do decide to do this on the real gloves. Glove Color: Grey and Black
