The biggest problems with the last arm design all stemmed from poor sensor construction.

- the wires were exposed to users where they could catch, fall off, etc.

- the sensor and magnet have to be held in perfect alignment or the arm loses sensation and goes nuts.

To fix that I'm working on a single sensor unit that I can test independently and use as needed in my next arm.
