Electrode mapping and signal orthogonality for capacitive imaging glove

A capacitive imaging glove comprising:

• a plurality of electrodes implemented throughout the capacitive imaging glove including a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the first electrode is implemented on a top of a digit of the capacitive imaging glove, and wherein the second electrode is implemented on a bottom of the digit of the capacitive imaging glove;
• a plurality of drive-sense circuits (DSCs), wherein:
• a first DSC of the plurality of DSCs, when enabled, configured to:
• generate a first signal having first one or more properties or characteristics based on a first reference signal;
• drive the first signal to the first electrode via a first single line and simultaneously to sense the first signal via the first single line, wherein sensing of the first signal includes detection of a first change of the first signal based on first one or more electrical characteristics of the first electrode;
• and
• generate a first digital signal representative of the first one or more electrical characteristics of the first electrode;
• a second DSC of the plurality of DSCs, when enabled, configured to:
• generate a second signal having second one or more properties or characteristics based on a second reference signal;
• drive the second signal to the second electrode via a second single line and simultaneously to sense the second signal via the second single line, wherein sensing of the second signal includes detection of a second change of the second signal based on second one or more electrical characteristics of the second electrode;
• and
• generate a second digital signal representative of the electrical characteristic of the second one or more electrical characteristics of the second electrode;
• memory that stores operational instructions;
• and
• one or more processing modules operably coupled to the plurality of DSCs and the memory, wherein, when enabled, the one or more processing modules configured to execute the operational instructions to:
• generate the first reference signal;
• generate the second reference signal;
• provide the first reference signal to the first DSC;
• provide the second reference signal to the second DSC;
• process the first digital signal representative of the first one or more electrical characteristic of the first electrode to determine the first one or more electrical characteristic of the first electrode;
• process the second digital signal representative of the second one or more electrical characteristic of the second electrode to determine the second one or more electrical characteristic of the second electrode;
• and
• generate capacitive image data representative of a shape of the capacitive imaging glove based on the first one or more electrical characteristic of the first electrode and the second one or more electrical characteristic of the second electrode.
