Want to Hack the Hackaday Prize?
Log from Analyzing the Hackaday Prize 2015
Update: I added that stubborn LibreOffice pie chart at the end ;)What does it take to be a winner? Getting an entry in early sure helps.I think projects with pictures, videos, and clear details, look like they get more attention.Here is the competition,...

A Better Sheet
Log from Analyzing the Hackaday Prize 2015
A new and improved spreadsheet is now sorted by project, instead of by contest, making it easier to sort and analyze (no more double entries!) Get the spreadsheet, it looks much better. Download the new one here. It has presorted sheets for most Skulls,...

Some tests and results
Log from biohand - Low cost 3D printed hand prosthesis
As a part of my thesis on the biohand, I ran some relevant tests (mostly still with no control board, which came in a few days later). Some of these tests are presented briefly here. For more detail, check my thesis! :DPrehensions (Weir et al., 2003)...

Design Phase
Log from InoDex
I am currently working on the design of each of the parts making up the InoDex Prosthetic Hand, As I complete each part I will be posting an image of the part. I am designing InoDex using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2015 CAD software, which is great...

Hackers and makers should not only make their own things.
Log from Wasteland Energy
Hacking is all about learning how things work and then create own things using this knowledge. It's high tech in-house production. Hackers are able to build small factories, solve huge problems (i.e. optimizing prostheses) or build satellites or rocket...

After about 1.5 years fleshing this thing out I think I have it made.
Log from Monolithic Cotton Supercapacitors
I have tried practically every last method known to make a high performance supercapacitor I can use in my power armor, prosthesis, and space planes.I think I finally figure it out and it should have been obvious but it wasn't. Batteries must have very...

The difficulties are immense with this one.
Log from Joule Heating Actuated Artificial Muscles
The graveyard of failed muscles grows daily.What I have learned is that sanding the line before twisting with 400 or 600 grit sandpaper vastly improves the adhesion and toughness of the conductive coating. Silver may not be necessary Nickel powder seems...

A long way off
Log from Bionic Artificial Muscle Prosthesis
I am not focusing on this right now as all the technologies needed for a legit prosthetic hand are still being developed by me, I will be aiming at finishing this for the assistive technology portion of the 2016 HAD prize. I have most of the CAD work...

Development of the Dextra control GUI
Log from Dextra
Although this project focuses on its application as a prosthetic hand, Dextra is, after all, a robotic hand. By this I mean that it has no elements that make it specifically a prosthesis, so it can be used for other purposes. Especially, due to its open-source...

Control board prototype
Log from Dextra
This is the first prototype of the Dextra control board, which I've been testing today and works like a charm. Until now I have been working with all the components placed on a breadboard. The mess of wires was horrible, so I designed this very simple...
