Another batch of supplies has arrived, including a (1) hot glue gun for relieving strain, (2) adhesive tape for sensor mounting, (3) gauged wire stripper, (4) heat shrink for insulating joints, (5) gaffer tape for cable routing and (6) hardboard panels alongside (7) ribbon cable which will link the sensors back to the Pi.

Having gathered these supplies, the project has nearly completed its hardware gathering phase. The tools and materials needed to build a setup durable enough for a prolonged study are now in my possession. Remaining steps before soldering begins include finalizing sensor placement on the bed and validating a single sensor channel, while a few final components are still in transit.
