We have printed our first piece, the shell that is going to protect the time of flight sensor.

We are going to to need to work on the measures on each component to adjust the Arduino shell model, so we can finally print both of them.

So today has mainly been a day about testing. We had to test our program that detects the distance, and also to make some research for the sizes of the components.

Indeed, 4 multiplexer, an arduino card and a lot of wired are going to be inserted in this shell, so it will need a certain amount of space, although it shouldn't be too much, because we don't want the components to move in the shell.

We had to make some adjustments to the first shell after the 3D impression, to enlarge the holes for the elastic bands that will fix it to the glove and to get the wires in. It's very difficult to carve a small 3D printed part with a cutter !

We have finished modifying it so it fits with the montage.
