Clarify division of labor and give proper credit where credit is due: MissCrispenCakes: - Initial hardware design and prototyping - Test PCB design and assembly - 3D enclosure design - Software implementations (Arduino, initial Raspberry Pi) rglenn (@rglenn): - Production-ready PCB designs (KiCad layouts) - Manufacturing-ready Gerber files - I2C system code implementation for hardware testing - Expert soldering and assembly work for prototypes Changes: - AUTHORS.md: Expand contributor sections with specific details - AUTHORS.md: Add humorous but respectful note about soldering assistance ("steady hands and good eyeballs are underrated superpowers!") - README.md: Detail rglenn's specific contributions - hardware/README.md: Update attribution to credit both designers - hardware/pcb/haptic-belt/README.md: NEW - Credit rglenn for production PCB - hardware/pcb/haptic-uhat/README.md: NEW - Credit rglenn for production PCB - paper.md: Expand acknowledgments with specific contributions This ensures proper credit for the production PCB files currently used in manufacturing and for the I2C code that enables hardware testing.
