Devlog #2 -
What I worked on- I worked on printing it all out and actually building the hand, while also trying to solve some of the issues I mention later.
Problems-I have had some pretty difficult things to deal with, my main issue I am having is I am trying to guide the fishing line better than I have been so that I can have equal pulling force from the finger and so that the tendons are being pulled at equal lengths.
Plans- I have spent some time modeling a fishing line guide that clamps around the servo arm. I really am hoping this will work but I will need to figure out how to minimize the space they are taking up as I want it al to fit together while being decently serviceable and clean looking.

Dev log-1
Hi guys! I started this project about a year ago with the goal of creating a 3d printable hand that is able to be controlled by mimicking my hand through a camera. Right now I have modeled and printed all of the fingers to a point where I can move on with the actual electronics.
What I worked on-
I worked on creating my assembly document in Onshape to be able to see what the movement would look like. This came at a challenge though, as I have never used the assembly function of Onshape.
What I plan to work on-
Today I plan to work on modeling and printing the wrist area of the hand to mount most of the electronics.
Advise- I plan on using Arduino as its the only thing that I have, but I need to figure out how to convert a hand tracking software in python to something that I am able to use with the Arduino.
