Controller Hardware

Controller is an Arduino Nano generating 250 hertz pluses following the Tass pulse duration and pause pattern and randomly selecting the order of finger stimulation while activating each finger every round.
The Nano outputs 5V square waves. These are stepped down to 0.9V using a series voltage divider of 22K ohm and 100K ohms resistors. The reduced voltage is fed to the inputs of two stereo amplifiers:
TDA2822M Low Voltage Stereo 2 x 1W Audio Amplifier Board

The outputs go to Cat6 RJ45 connectors, Cat6 cables have 4 twisted pairs and are used to connect the controller to the gloves.
The finger tip tactors use: Tectonic TEAX09C005-8 Haptic Feedback Transducer 9mm 0.5W 8 Ohm
