All new hardware!

A project log for Eye Controlled Wheelchair!

Open source system to drive powerchairs by eye movement alone - allowing independent mobility when use of a person's hands isn't an option.

Following last week's successful test of the switch version of eyedrivomatic, we are moving over to concentrate on the eyegaze only version. We are calling this 'eyedrivomatic pure'. This is what most people will think of when they hear 'eye controlled wheelchair', so I am busy rewriting the software. Also we have some hardware developments to report, the Mk3 brain box and the Mk2 electronic hand. The improvements to the brain Box are all aimed at making it easier to build. The electronic hand however, has had a complete redesign. It is much smaller (micro servos rather than standard), is easier to build, and uses less plastic. Photos to follow.
