Okay! This update is a bit late (by ~1.5 weeks), but we now have full audio output from a single glove. The contact sensors are pretty finicky, though, and improving them is our next goal. We have a few ideas about how to do this. First, we may sew a pattern into the conductive fabric using conductive thread. This plan works on the assumption that the conductive thread has more exposed metal than the conductive fabric, and thus will make more reliable connections. We don't know this for sure, but we need conductive thread anyway, so we'll probably try it out. The second idea was brought to us by Nate's mom. Apparently she has access to some sort of thin metal-coated plastic sheet. I don't remember the intended use of this material, but we'll be trying it out for our contact sensors.
After we achieve reliable contact sensors, we'll move on to inter-glove communication, then finally add the accelerometers, essentially completing the instrument.
In other news, I finally found an audio player / manager that I actually like: Quod Libet. I'll talk more about this later (I'll probably make a post about it when I finish the plugins I'm thinking about).
Please excuse the content-light nature of this post; I only really made it for the Senior Project update.
