About the Open Muscle Dev Kit Bracelet Cell PCB

Open Muscle Dev Kit Bracelet Cell is an open source ESP32 PCB design by Open-Muscle, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 27.5 × 52 mm, with 22 components from 17 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP32-C3-Super Mini, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the LTC4054ES5-4.2 and TPS7A03. By type, the board carries 5 capacitors, 4 connectors, 3 ICs, 3 resistors, 2 jumpers and 1 switch.

It belongs with the sensors, wearables and iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

From the project

Original OpenMuscle armband with 12 sensors (legacy design)

Status: Archived (Legacy Hardware) License: CERN-OHL-S v2.0

The OpenMuscle-Band is the original prototype of the OpenMuscle project—a wearable forearm band equipped with 12 pressure sensors designed to detect muscle contractions and predict finger movements. This open-source hardware was developed to provide biometric data for machine learning applications in prosthetics and human-computer interaction.
