Exohand Updated ECTE351
About the Exohand Updated ECTE351 PCB
Exohand Updated ECTE351 is an open source NXP PCB design by muhammadmapkar, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 67.5 × 66 mm, with 26 components from 10 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the Teensy4.0, from the NXP family. Other key parts include the WEMOS_C3_mini. By type, the board carries 6 connectors, 2 ICs and 1 switch.
It belongs with the robotics & motion designs in this gallery.
From the project
EMG-controlled assistive robotic hand. Built for ECTE351 by Team Orvyn (Group 19).
EMG-controlled assistive robotic hand. Built for ECTE351 by Team Orvyn (Group 19).
ExoHand reads surface EMG (sEMG) from the forearm, classifies the muscle activity into a hand gesture, and drives four servo-actuated fingers to match. The current system recognizes rest, fist, and individual-finger gestures (pinky&ring, middle, index, thumb), running the trained classifier directly on the microcontroller. VR integration is planned; not yet in this codebase. — see docs/architecture.md. Runs the trained classifier on-device (no PC needed for inference).
