Problem:
1. Current finger sensors require to many moving parts to make
2. Personal problem is I know very little about programing but I am learning
Solution:
1. Paint the interior of the finger tip with conductive paint
2. Connect conductive paint to a lead wire and run to circuit board
Future Advantage:
1. If the finger sensors work and are reliable, then rigging the entire Inmoov should be extremely easy and reliable
Do you think I should buy
1. Carbon Conducti paint
a. $14.95
b. Surface resistivity: approximately 114 ?/sq for one coat (~1 mil)
c. https://www.amazon.com/MG-Chemicals-838AR-15ML-Carbon-Conductive/dp/B01MQ4F1T5/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538855760&sr=8-3&keywords=conductive+paint
2. Silver Conductive paint
a. $55.00
b. Extremely low volume resistivity of 7.6X10-5 ?cm

My design does now work with physical pressure. It works with sensing conductivity through a surface. The outside of finger tip is the surface. The inside of the finger is a ridged space that has been coated with conductive paint with a lead wire running to a circuit board. This means when my finger comes closer to the Inmoov finger it will register its proximity to the surface. In return I can easily map an entire neural network though out the Inmoov.
I appreciate how well the conductive foam works but I want to try something different. I also want to map out 90% of the Invmoov body.
Thank you for taking the time to write and I appreciate your feedback.
Here is a simple example of carbon conductive paint in action.
The main problem is time. I'll try and document to process to make it easy for others with a proof of concept video but my time is extremely limited!
PS
When are you going to make different size servos and improve your shipping price to the states? A dead silent servo is gold! Thank your for such an amazing platform.
