# In-person Meeting 4

#### Date: 11/17/2021
#### Location: Room 238, Krach Leadership Center

## Goals

<ul>
<li> Take progress of Rugved's finger design and make hardware to start designing the protohand for design to be ready by Friday, 11/20/2021 </li>
<li> Make software to start working on servoing in person ASAP, TinkerCAD simulation setup </li>
<li> Finalize design for protohand and work towards it </li>
<li> Start taking rough measurements and program measurements to move to certain keys before acquiring funding via PESC </li>
</ul>

<hr>

### Hardware:

#### Updates/Tasks

<li> Rugved and @R-chis to start working on the CAD for the protohand </li>
<li> Measurements for the protohand taken, used for the protohand </li>
<li> Use links and resources from the chat to reference joints and links </li>
<li> The string / linking elastic thread has been discussed - the elastic one would be on the bottom of the fingers and the non-elastic one would be on the top (diagram as discussed in the chat) </li>

### Software

#### Updates/Tasks
<li> Software started working on the servoing with the TinkerCAD simulator </li>
<li> Measurements of keys, fingers and the protohand noted and used for the code </li>
<li> Team to start working on trying to reach all keys in one octave via the simulator using projected values </li>

### Notes

<ol>
    <li> Number of projected servos is 6: 5 for the fingers, 1 for rotation along the plane of the hand base </li>
    <li> Values are to be commonly integrated with hardware and software (actual values are in the chat channels) </li>
</ol>
