SHIVA HANDS

Our electronic team has been working on the circuit that will help control the mosquito racket using the sensor in the socket. 

We had some intense discussions on the design of the the squatter holder. The confusion was weather to keep the handle of the the racket or to make a smaller module to house the circuit.

A decision was made to keep the handle and design a holder that would balance the racket on the arm. 

Our team went on and made the required holder in time and it has been sent for printing now.

Then we hacked the racket and removed the switch that is used to generate the spark used to kill the mosquitos.

We pulled out two wires that would we connected to the sensor in the arm. The sensor will provide a high and low signal that would control the spark of the racket.

The Guitar assist in being 3D printed now.

Guitar assist is an attachment to the bionic arm where the user can use can flexible plastic/steel scale and attach it to the arm and play the guitar in a natural way.

Made with Fusion 360 and 3d printed with PLA/ABS

Beginning the day with a small meeting on planning the tasks of the day and dividing the tasks. 

We planned on making the guitar assist, the mosquito squatter and the the mobile and laser pointer attachments.

Nico has been mentoring and assisting us with the project. He Jas been giving us useful insights on how to design the attachments for the bionico arm.
