Features

  • Affordable: Designed using low-cost components and open-source tools.
  • Myoelectric Controlled: Uses EMG signals to control prosthetic movement.
  • Wireless Interface: ESP32-powered wireless control via a custom Android app.
  • Customizable Design: STL files provided for 3D printing and customization.
  • Open-Source: All design files, code, and documentation are freely available.

Getting Started

1. Hardware Assembly

  • 3D print components from the Design Files/ directory.
  • Follow the provided images in Images/ for reference.
  • Assemble the hand and integrate EMG sensors, servo motors, and ESP32.

2. Firmware Installation

  • Flash the code from the ESP32 Code/ directory to your ESP32 board.
  • Make sure to configure the correct pins and WiFi credentials.

3. App Setup

  • Clone the App/ directory into Android Studio.
  • Build and install the app on an Android phone.
  • Connect the app to the ESP32 via WiFi.

Multimedia
