This week, our group was able to demo a keyboard application with the left wink mapping to the left key and right wink mapping to the right key. Unfortunately, we were unable to show that our EMG sensor could be connected to the interface because the capacitor on the sensor blew out during testing. It is pretty difficult to find the sensors we are using and shipping takes a few weeks; however, we have one coming in the coming week so we can retry the integration. We also spoke to Professor Fedder about this mishap and after taking a look and running some quick tests, it seems like we can just re-solder a capacitor to the sensor and have it working again. Because of this (and with Carnival), we are slightly behind with testing the EMG with the Arduino and integration from last week, but as the EMG sensor has arrived now we will test on it this week.
