Active Muscle Stimulator (Trask)
Stuff about the development of the active muscle stimulator, a device that assists people with neurological challenges in relation to muscle activation.
Running around with a game controller immediate delivers on an ultra nerdy/crazy scientist look. Also, the USB sockets tend to wear out, due to the movements associated with running. In order to deal for both issues, I acquired a compact wireless controller, which comes with a wrist strap. It seems to fit perfectly for use … Continue reading Wireless Device Programming
I was briefly investigating if we could replace a centalized computer and meters of electrode wire with a number of smaller computers connected via wireless communication. In a development phase, it would also be handy if we could collect the raw data from the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and build movement model on a computer … Continue reading Considering Bluetooth LE
This posting relates to examining one possibility for a Raspberry Pi Zero to control signals for muscle actication via electrodes attached at muscle motorpoints. The option we cover here is somewhat quick and dirty, and it relates to simply routing signals from an external TENS/EMS unit through a relay board. In order to investigate this … Continue reading Testing the Speed and Accuracy of Relays
Today I am looking at the proposed hardware for the release version of the Active Muscle Stimulator. The hardware I will be testing consists of sensors and the main computer. I need to figure out how this sensor hardware works, and if the computer is fast enough. The Raspberry Pi Zero is really small, even … Continue reading A First Look at Release Version Hardware
