Electronics Team #10 Week April 6-12

Check this out!

This week, we made modifications:

• We had a pocket sewn on the back of the armband into which we could insert a stiff material to provide structure and allow for greater sensitivity.
• When that didn't work, we hot glued stiff material to the separator material so the the separator material would still be compressible but the stiff material would provide structural support.
• We attached Velcro to make the armband more easily wearable.

The stiff support material was added because when we would actually wear the armband, the fabric would get pulled taut and bring the layers closer together, which was a big part of why we were getting so much accidental activation. Testing went well, and we got some better results than last week.

Tune in next week!
