A project log for Building an Assistive Robotic Arm

We are building an assistive robotic arm for my daughter who recently became paralyzed in her left arm.

We are looking for some help to develop open source code for this project 

We aim to develop an open-source platform for muscular activity signal detection —recorded non-invasively on the skins surface— and using that for exoskeleton control.  

The muscle signals will be recorded using the Myo Armband and processing/exoskeleton control will take place on a Raspberry Pi. The goal is to detect 2 to 5 patterns from myo signals using machine learning / pattern recognition methods.

Many open-source libraries are available and can be used in the project subject to minor modifications. Guidance and support will be provided.

Here is a Wiki that we have for this project https://sites.google.com/site/ourkidscandoanything/

We already have a working model for this, but it is using proprietary software, We now need to develop this software as open source so that we can freely share it.
