Prosthetic arms cost over 10k at best, I aim to bring it down to 500.

finished the arduino code :D
v2 done! I took a photo of it in my schooll’s lightbox and the design is much better, the piece at the end is velcro for it to attach. v3 im thinking some sort of compliant gripper. this is meant to replace hooks and stuff like that after all which can go upwards of 2000$ (at a minimum) and some sort of compliant gripper would be good here. perhaps even a true hands or tri-claw. coding it now :D
v1 done and 3d printed and coded, pretty bad tbh but its just a POC
worked on code and tuning myoware values to have a working smoothing algorithm when i 3d print the prototype. also soldered the wires onto the myoware, planning on doing 3 prototypes before finalizing a design for a cheaper prosthetic. this is my first time soldering is it good lol i had to solder 2 wires onto the back bc when they were on the front it wasnt good…
