Well the remaining engines have arrived, and I also got the glove, so I wanted to try out the new hand.
Works pretty good as you can see. Now I need to start teaching it to grab stuff without breaking it, and to get Flex Sensors, for the glove, so I'll be able to mimic the glove's movement with the robotic hand.
The thing is that the Flex Sensors are more expansive and tricky to find than I thought.
So what I think I'm going to do, is to build the Flex Sensors myself by this video I found in YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkPekPiA-sc&feature=related
That way, I can custom build them to fit the glove and save some money.
If anyone has any other idea, about how to connect the glove to the robotic hand, just leave a comment I'll be glad to get some ideas.
And if you want to see what a Flex Sensor is exactly, then you can check it out here
