Team Status Report for 11/22

Progress
  • Finger IMU soldered to Glove PCB
  • Began implementation of the bluetooth latency test
  • Began integrating haptic motor controller on the glove, along with crash detection from the Kar IMU and speed from the glove IMU
Design Changes
  • The haptic motor controller will control haptic feedback from two types of input. The first input will be the IMU controlling speed on the glove controller, which will be mapped to a buzz vibration on the hand. Similar to how we translate IMU angle to PWM, we will also convert angle to a buzz intensity that the user will feel as they accelerate. The second input will be a crash detection from the IMU on the Kar. When the user crashes into something, they will feel it as a strong click or multiple clicks of vibration on the hand.  Previously, we considered taking in input from only the IMU on the Kar, but for simplicity, we decided to use the IMU on the Kontroller for speed haptic feedback.
