Week 8

More of the hardware component was worked on today. The battery holder is big and so is the Arduino board so it was decided that the design had to change. The CAD design that was being worked on was replaced with a glove. The idea is taking a baseball glove and connecting the board and the battery on top of it so that there is enough space for both the things and the user has enough mobility to be able to exercise with it on. Below is a picture of the glove that we will be using. The tips will be cut off for mobility and the pulse sensor will easily attach to the thumb so it can take its pulse. Also attached below is a screenshot of a section of the code that is used to program when the lights on the glove will go off.
