Sensaglove v0

This is a prototype of a vibrotactile dataglove built in december 2006. The circuit is implemented using a protoboard for testing purposes, and the communication to the PC is achieved via the parallel port. A ULN2003 darlington array is used to supply enough current to the actuators.
