ASSEMBLING 

 

In order to assemble the electronic circuit, follow the steps shown below: 

 

• Pick an empty protoboard and cut it until it has Arduino Nano’s size. Weld the resistors and the pins of the Arduino to the PCB like the following scheme. Don’t forget to leave enough space between the proto and the Arduino board. 

 

• Weld a row of pins perpendicular to the previously welded board. Also weld the wires, with its hot melt, and apply enough heat to seal and protect the connections. After this, introduce the final PCB to the Arduino’s structure case, close it and thread it with four M2 screws. 

 

• Apply contact glue to the bend sensors and, after a minute, paste them in the fingers of the glove. Secure the joints with another piece of glove.  

  

• Pass the A1-A2-A3 pins, three ground pins and the pins of the MPU sensor through the rectangular hole given by the structure case of the sensor, weld the pins to its respective bend sensor and the MPU pins, and then apply contact glue to the structure, in order to paste it in the middle of the hand. 

  

• Weld the rest of the wires to its respective pin, and finally attach the PCB pack to the base of the glove. Finally, wear the power glove and make sure that the wire length is appropriate enough to close the hand properly.
