We've created a new open-source project, Muscle Mouse, as part of the 2013 National microMedic contest. The Muscle Mouse harnesses
the power of electromyography to make physical therapy more fun and to
make gaming easier for the disabled.
At the core of this AAA battery powered device is the powerful yet low-cost Arduino Pro Mini microcontroller (a favorite among hobbyist and SparkFun Electronics BlueTooth module, and Advancer Technologies’ 3rd generation muscle sensor.

The Muscle
Mouse is designed to
allow
the user play the classic helicopter game (shown below) on any mouse compatible
Bluetooth device. The user simply has to navigate to any of the many available
websites that provide this game for free and position the mouse cursor over the
game window. The Muscle Mouse gives the user the power
to navigate
the helicopter through the game course simply by flexing their muscle to move the
helicopter up and relaxing the muscle to move the helicopter down.
The manufacturers part numbers for some of the items ordered mentioned in the documentation would be helpful. That would let people check digikey and mouser for a part that was used. It is funny designs are open in other places also and nowone shares the manufacturers part numbers.
ReplyDeleteThe documentation has links that go directly to the manufacturers page for each item.
