Electronics Team #9
    Week March 27-April 5

Check out our new update here!

Howdy! Michael again. Interesting results from our initial test: it doesn't work. Well, I mean, it works, but too well.

We're getting a lot of accidental activation from a single input point on the armband, e.g. one input point actually pressed yields nine input points read. Unfortunately, this means that we're going to need to attach the other layer of separator material I talked about earlier. We're hoping this doesn't cause too many issues, or any of the same issues we were trying to avoid by using individual strips rather than a single layer of separator material.

In other new, the Bluetooth is a little wonky, but I don't think that it's anything Matt or I could control, so what can you do? Don Norman would probably have something to say about it, but we just carry on the best we can :)

Tune in next week, when we do the same thing all over again!
