As mentioned before, I've spent the last month mostly working on my thesis (about biohand). Now that I've finished it, I finally have some spare time to invest in the project again. I tought I'd briefly list some of the 'To-Do's I have planned for the upcoming two/three weeks:

• In the previous logs I've mentioned that the custom control PCBs had arrived from the board house. They are now fully soldered and functional, but the processor (STM32F103, an ARM Cortex M3) still has to be programmed to offer minimal functionality (drive the motors with PWM, drive the micro RC servo on the thumb's base, etc).
• Once the ARM is programmed, a small frame will be printed to hold the control board on the biohand's palm. All wiring (motors, servo and potentiometers) will be hooked up to the control board.
• As clearly visible in the pictures, there's still no cosmetic covering. The motors and internals are visible and unprotected. A proper cover will then be designed/printed to enclose the biohand's palm.

Other modifications are planned in the long-term future too; the thumb mechanism will be fully replaced and the control board will undergo a large revision. However, these more significant changes will only take place after the aformentioned short-term goals are properly consolidated.
