Final update.

So I started out a little rough. trying to tape the flex sensor to my arm was painful and just didn't work no matter how hard I tried.

I moved forward with the idea of using the sleeve still. I sewed a plastic ruler along with the sensor actually into the sleeve to give it some back bone. This helped allot but I was still code-less. Thanks Colleen you helped allot with the code and got my project up off the ground.

Project so far.......

So far my project is entirely assembled! I had to search far and wide for something to mount my lcd/breadboard into the pre-cut slot. I ended up finding some brackets that were made for drawers/shelves. They worked nicely because they were adjustable and I could get the height just right. I ended up sewing my flex sensor onto the elbow support. I cut a flex-able ruler and sandwiched it over the sensor to make the sensor more firm and give it more support. So far I am still having tons of trouble with the code it seems like no matter what I do I end up with an error.... frustrating but hopefully I can get things sorted out by Friday.
