      Didn't finish the glove bit but got distracted and tried to control it remotely using pots instead. . t have recently got back to it with a simpler 4 DOF robot using servos only. I will still keep playing as I learn a lot on the way. Keeps me young. P s I think the software needs debugging as I could not get it to work.

      Hey Jesse,
      I studied Computer Engineering... but it was most of my fundaments that really came from playing around with projects starting with getting an Arduino LED to blink and going on from there. Personally, trying to get the project to work forces you to get your fundamentals right.
