PROTOTYPE

I always want people to experience the work/ the environment through more natural, intuitive, everyday actions…at least in my environment. GSR usually uses wearable finger-band-shaped sensors wrapping around your fingers to measure skin’s conductance between two fingers, but having people wear them gives very clinical and less welcoming experience.

I came up with my first, first prototype for GSR device
Type: Fishing rod.

I’ve been having a problem figuring out how to make a GSR reader with my Arduino…., and I finally managed to apply Che-Wei Wang‘s GSR reader (Arduino + Processing) to my fishing rod.

Basically there is 5 volts going to lower grip area (red wire). The upper area and lead splits to two wires. One wire goes to analog(0) and the other goes through a 100k (300k was suggested but lower registers worked out better on this.) resistor and then to ground. What’s read in analog(0) is the change in resistance of the voltage going through your body.
