Functionality - richar66/FlexSensors-Midterm GitHub Wiki
The flex sensors are threaded through the fingers on a glove to comfortably and effectively detect when each finger is bent.
Of the three sensors used, the 4.4” sensors are on the users pointer and middle fingers and the 2.2” sensor is on the thumb. My group final project is for a bluetooth mouse that is controlled by a glove. So for the finger combinations I chose for this project, they mirror the desired movements we will use in the final project as clicks and scrolls. Four LEDs are used:
Blue, yellow, red, and green.
- Blue is for bent thumb only, which will be a scroll movement
- Blue and Yellow is for bent pointer and thumb, which will be a left click
- Blue and Red is for bent middle and thumb, which will be a right click
- Blue, Yellow, and Red is for bent pointer, middle and thumb, which will be for a double click
- Green is for no fingers bent, which is used to judge a waiting period until the user does something
A demo video of the working project can be viewed at the YouTube here: Demo Video
Below are some images of the working project, particularly all fingers bent and no fingers bent. Unlike the demo, the glove is not worn in the images but the fingers are bent while the glove is on a table.
