Robotic Hand

Well after all the hard work, it finally works :)
You can see in the video, that the glove needs to be initialized first. This way the glove can be fitted to different hand sizes, and shape. After a quick initialization, the robotic hand is fully controlled by the glove.
You can see that the engines are a bit jumpy, that is because the sensors in the glove are not a 100% precise. Now I just need to figure out how to improve their percision.

The Glove

The video is a bit difficult to understand, it's actually a recording of my own computer.
The quality of it, is not so great. So the best way to watch it, is on YouTube on full-screen.

On the left side, what you can see, is the "Arduino 2560" controller board, connected with a CAT6 network cable to a sniper's glove, that is filled with home-made Flex Sensors.
On the right side, you can see the reading of the sensors by the computer. Each sensor is numbered from #1 to #15, and next to it, there is a number, telling how bent is the sensor.
If you look closely, you would see that when I make a fist, the numbers on all the sensors are rising.
Now I just need to translate it to the engines, and it is ON...
