Movement 👋

Hello everyone! This is my sixth challenge in course from Ucode IT Academy featuring Ajax Systems.

The main idea ✨

Make our first gestures with robohand 😱

Our equipment

  • TI LaunchPad CC1352R1 x2
  • TI Sensors BoosterPack “BOOSTXL-SENSORS”
  • Laptop or PC
  • Ajax special edition super robohand

What is my project about

This project was made to gain knowledge about servo-motors, servo-motor driver PCA9685, gyroscope, accelerometer, madgwick filter.

How does it works

First microcontroller gets raw data from gyroscope and accelerometer (“BOOSTXL-SENSORS”), and puts this data into the madgwick filter. After that, writes filtered x coordinate into the serial terminal. Python script reads current x coordinate and writes it into another serial terminal. From another serial terminal, our second launchpad gets coordinate and puts all fingers in the correct position.

Example

Look at the launchpad in my hand and look at robohand. 😮 Alt Text

How you could run it

  1. Download my project.
  2. Using the Code Composer Studio, built a project in folder “i2cbmi160_CC1352R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs”.
  3. Flash binary file into your first microcontroller. It should be connected with Sensors BoosterPack. You could use CCS or UniFlash.
  4. Using the Code Composer Studio, built a project in folder “servo_pca9685”.
  5. Flash binary file into your second microcontroller. It should be connected with Sensors BoosterPack. You could use CCS or UniFlash.
  6. Open Python_script/connection.py and run it.
  7. Connect your two launchpads with your computer.
  8. Connect your second launchpad with robohand

Note

Do not forget that to work with TI Launchpads and Sensors BoosterPack, you should download SDKs.
