Preparing for our First Prototype Inspection Day

Prototype Inspection Day is next Tuesday (11/17). We have been preparing for it for 3 weeks. As our project is to design and build a device able to map handgrip pressure. We built a prototype able to demonstrate the technology and components that make mapping of handgrip pressure possible. Our prototype was built using mainly the resources available at the IPPD Lab. The components needed for this prototype include an Arduino, a force sensing resistor, and a piezo sensor. With this prototype, we plan to test the accuracy and repeatability of the pressure measurements given by this technology. Because we are only testing the technology, this prototype will not be wrapped around the bat as our final product will be. The presentation of our prototype will be carried out through Microsoft Teams. We are so excited to show our technology to the judges and be one step closer to our final product!

This week we have been also working on Minor Report 2, which mainly focuses on how our final product will be built and how it will perform in its operational environment.
