Eric has filled out the "purchase" form on Textronics fabric electrode kit, and will follow up with them in order to get the kit. Rachel, Chung-Hay and Eric will split the cost.

Optical Pulse Circuit Experimentation

We soldered leads unto the emitter/transmitter device, and held it against various body parts:

  • Neck: no flashing, despite many attempts on both of us
  • Wrist: Eric got it to work once on his wrist, but generally this fails
  • earlobe: Eric got it to work a few times, this was actually the most promising area after thumb
  • Thumb/finger: the original, still very flaky, works maybe 25% of the time

Prototype Armature/Display

We prototyped a choker today.
