ArMyo - Functional Prosthetic Hand

thingiverse

Armyo is a prosthetic hand designed for individuals who have undergone trans-radial amputation, commonly referred to as below-elbow or forearm amputation. By integrating with the Myo Armband, users can effortlessly control this device by assigning four distinct gestures to specific functions. The Armyo system organizes its functions into 4 separate groups of 4 functions each, totaling 16 different actions that can be performed. With the use of a switch, users can easily switch between these function groups while maintaining the same gesture assignments. Furthermore, designers have the flexibility to customize the functions available to the user by simply modifying the code. In addition to its primary functions, Armyo features two auxiliary buttons: one allows users to lock the device in place, preventing accidental adjustments or changes, and another enables users to toggle the backlight on and off as needed. The LCD screen provides real-time information regarding the current group of functions and the hand's position. This comprehensive display ensures users have a clear understanding of their surroundings at all times. At its core, Armyo relies on an Arduino Nano microcontroller for control and communication with the Myo Armband, facilitated through a reliable HM10 Bluetooth module.
