InMoov (right) hand palm cushions (molds) + Arduino FSR code

Silicon grip enhancers create added stability for InMoov designs. Follow instructions to develop those enhancements. For comprehensive information on this project's foundation, please visit http://www.inmoov.fr/. Arduino pressure sensors play a crucial role in precision adjustments. Basic test methods can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwvyghCA9bw. Feedback and expertise from professionals are welcome for improving this non-optimized code. To fine-tune pressure levels, utilize the VarSpeed library: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=61586.0. I used FSRs from: http://www.conrad.nl/nl/druksensor-interlink-fsr-400-10-g-10-kg-503368.html. Shorter sensors might enable EL wire placement inside fingers, provided small holes are drilled for access. Instructions for mold creation: -Print both molds carefully. Mold1 should have its indented side down when printed. -Prioritize smooth surfaces for a seamless experience. -Touch-up print defects with release agents like dish soap if needed. -Cast your chosen silicon mixture into the mold, then securely fasten and allow to cure according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Assemble these elements onto your InMoov hand, employing adhesive of your choice - such as basic transparent glue for ease. Multiple approaches to attachment exist; consider your needs and experiment with different solutions.
