We decided to use the Arduino Mega 2560 as our main microcontroller for this project. For more detail on the decision making process, open here and go to Individual Component Analysis on Microcontroller.

In order to create a much more tidier and simpler cabling system, we decided to design a Printed Circuit Board. The image below shows the full circuit schematic as well as the cabling system of a finger with the PCB embedded. as seen below, the PCB decreases an amount of cables needed.
