Next Steps:
There is a lot more that can be done with this data to give users helpful information and better their overall fidget experience. It is easy to create a function that can relay the user's fidgeting to date. Likewise, each fidget relates to other existing types of fidgets that can easily be sent to the users upon request with a separate function.
Additionally, it would be nice to experiment more with the design and material used for the housing. Using acrylic for the rotating mechanism and wood for the rest of it would make it easier to roll the bottom disk, make it smaller, make it lighter, would ensure that the components were more secure, and hopefully allow for the fidget to be scaled down.
Reflection:
If given another go at it, I may have focused more on the data and the outer shell (housing) of the project. These were things that seemed simple but turned out to need more time than expected. Additionally, Given the amount of movement in a fidgeting mechanism, designing the housing, constructing and soldering additional elements to facilitate the movement of the sensors without the circuits being damaged was very difficult. Figuring out the best arrangement for the easy use of and access to components also made this project more time consuming. In the future, the dimensions and arrangements settled upon will aid in or help to eliminate that decision-making process.
