Hello everyone, this is the first prototype of the VR haptic glove. This prototype is made just to check the torque of the 6V DC motor with gear.
The 6V DC motor itself is too weak to hold the finger from bending, so I bought a geared motor which decrease the RPM but increase the torque.
I bought 300RPM 6V DC geared motor and it seems okay at first time, but when I am trying to rotate the motor with low power, motor couldn't rotate.
That's because the the gear ratio is too high that it needs certain amount of power to run it. And that power is too strong to bend the finger.
The reason I run the motor with low power is, motor itself can both hold the finger from bending as well as giving a slight tension to wind-up so that wire is not floating around. 300RPM motor is not generating slight tension to wind-up the wire, so it only can hold the finger. So I changed the 1500 RPM motor, and this motor can hold the finger from moving and wind-up wire at lower power.
Next video, I will attach the potentiometer to read the movement of finger, new hardware design to hold the fingers tight and remove the buzzing sound from DC motor.
Thank you for watching and I will come back with a great idea!
