Teadora’s Status Report for 2/14

This week I ordered the first set of parts for the glove (Spectra Symbol Flex Sensors), and looked into other parts. For example, I looked at the datasheets for several different IMUs Adafruit sells to consider how much data we need (ex: do we need magnetic field sensing? Probably not, and it’ll save us $5 on budget). I’ve decided to use a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W since it’s lightweight and has WiFi and Bluetooth capability. We borrowed a Raspberry Pi 5 (8Gb) from lending, but it won’t work for the final model since it’s too big. We’ll also need a monitor and keyboard to interface with it, which we need to get from ITS. I also worked on the Design Presentation
