A project log for biohand - Low cost 3D printed hand prosthesis

Development of a robust low cost 3D printed hand prosthesis using off-the-shelf components.

So. Finished the bulk of my thesis, which frees time to work in this project again. Almost synchronized, the first iterations of the biohand's control boards arrived from the board house!

I rushed to test them. But yea. With all those small piched components, I didn't got around milling a version in my CNC before the design was sent off for manufacturing. So, it was kind of all-or-nothing. And as it's (almost) always the case, I soon discovered some mistakes. Namely, I swapped two VDD/VSS pairs from the STM32 processor. [...] It took me around 24h to find and solder a workaround and get a minimal setup (processor + regulator + caps) to work. LED blinking in the next pic:

Time to keep soldering (and eventually spotting other dumb mistakes, *sigh*).

BTW, more info on the project will soon be available on my personal page.

'til next time!
