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.
Introduction We have already documented the development of a device for controlling the Tibialis Anterior leg muscles during movements such as running. The software for that device was developed in C++ for maximum performance and for portability to microcontrollers. The existing device was running on a 1GHz Raspberry Pi Zero. In the following we are … Continue reading A Microcontroller Controlling My Legs 1.5/2
The following is a short summary of my efforts related to using a microcontroller for controlling some of my leg muscles. Motivation I find the idea of compensating for physical inability by attaching computers to the human body quite fascinating. In this post we are continuing this journey by trying to activate the muscle activation … Continue reading A Microcontroller Controlling My Legs 1/2
The curious programmer might have wondered why the program code is implemented in the C++ programming language. Some might argue that, for a Raspberry Pi project, Python would enable more people to cooperate. The reason for sticking to C++ (with a minimum set of library dependencies) is to enable a deployment option involving a micro … Continue reading Investigating Micro Controllers
