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
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
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
This weekend I did a lot of programming on this project. All the interesting stuff related to the math is still pending, but most of the boring stuff is now complete. Setting up an appropriate development environment.Enabling Raspberry programming with code-completion from Windows.Enabling Windows builds of the code for testing the math algorithms.Developing application drivers … Continue reading Low Level Programming Weekend
