EMG-Prosthetic-Arm

Prosthetic arm crit files

  • need to fabricate custom pcb DONE
  • need to design hand prototype
  • need to design finger/hand actuation mechanism

Code Reqs:

  • class to import real time servo data
  • class to process servo data (converting to either motor or LEDs)
  • (Experimental): using AI to "assume" movements based on historical/logged data

Use cpp to receive and send info to arduino, use python to process it?

  • 3D cad (fingers, palm support, amputee compatibility)

Process:

  • initial designs
  • Design individual finger, figure out how to make it move

======= (STILL IN DEVELOPMENT)

loads of delay as chip design took multiple iterations

Questions

How big is the EMGs PCB?

It measures 58 × 23.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the EMGs use?

21 parts, built around the INA118U/2K5G4 and TL072CP. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the EMGs KiCad files?

From the J-992/emg-arm repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is EMG_CHIP_DEV/V2.0/EMGs.kicad_pcb and its schematic EMG_CHIP_DEV/V2.0/EMGs.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the EMGs design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask J-992 before reusing the design.
