N/A |
| Nano board | Allows the code to program the spinner. | Arduino shop | Arduino board, although it would not work as well. |
| Battery Pack | Provides power to the Nano board. | Local hardware store | Direct connection to computer. |
| Spinner | Controls the motion of the finger. | Arduino shop | Anything that has the ability to turn in motion. |
| Arduino app | Allows the user to write the coding on a supporting app. | Arduino website... click here. | Other coding platforms include, Electron, Codebender, Stino and Eclipse However we do recommend Arduino. |
| Computer | Enables the Arduino app to open and be used. | Apple, Samsung, etc. | N/A *note your computer must support the arduino program. |
| Flexi sensor | Enables the Arduino app to open and be used. | Arduino shop | Accelerometers ADXL 335 (used for measuring bending & deflection). |
| Wires/Connectors | Connect each component of the project together sending electrical signals to each part. | Arduino shop | N/A |
| 3D printed finger | The actual prosthesis that the spinners motions move. | 3D printed from the computer. | Any model finger that is flexible. |
| Wood plank | To hold all the components together. | Local hardware store. | Plastic piece would be okay as long as it can be hot glued on. |
