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.
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
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
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
