Team Update for 12/7/2024

General Update

This week Josh, Alex, and Jubi worked on the final paper, poster, and video, continued verification & validation tests on the hardware & software solutions, and finalized work on the device integration / continued stretch goals. Josh worked on designing and ordered a PCB to house the hardware for the device.  He also began working on the CAD for the hardware capsule. Alex worked on data visualization within the mobile app as well as adding app functionality for the second glove (BT/calibration modifications, frontend modifications). Jubi worked on tweaking the recent queries add for edge case safety, as well as integrating in the visual displays for charting / pulling data from the database.

Guidance
We performed static weight unit tests via arm hangs on the sensors, from which we realized that the best placement of the sensors are on the A2 and A4 pulleys, the tendons between the first two knuckles stemming your middle and ring finger. This is because we realized that most of the weight is distributed on these pulleys, and although pulley injuries can still occur in the A2 and A4 due to pressure placed on the A5 pulley, during rehabilitation, it is important that minimal force is placed on these injured A2/4 pulleys.
