Proof-of-concept that a TENS 7000 unit can cooperate with an Arduino

Suggested that a relay could be used to convert signals from the Arduino to stimulating signals from the TENS to the electrode pad

Suggested that a single signal in the Arduino could lead to responses in multiple pad setups

Indicated that multiple isolated pad setups were possible (nerve stimulation and muscle stimulation)

Aided in developing a modular format for the project

Provided scientific reasoning basing neurostimulation using electrical signals

Set up future work possible with the project

1. virtual object profiling

2. variable stimulation intensity by hand aperture

Used to learn about how relays work

Used as wiring guide for setting up the Double relay system

Used to learn about how relays work

1. Switch created by magnetic inductance between 2 circuits

2. The relay needs an Arduino power source (5V), but the isolated circuit powers must be attached to the COM ports

Used as a wiring guide for setting up the Bluetooth HM-10 DSD Tech

Noted that only the middle 4 pins were needed (most prepared Arduino Bluetooths only have these 4 pins)
