Arduino Wireless Animatronic Hand

This was my science fair for 2011 and this video was also for a contest hosted by Jeremy Blum and Element 14

Ask any questions you have!

Thank You, Easton

Would you give me the schematics, on how you made the hand. I'm making exactly something like that for my final school project. How long tooke it to make it?

Thank you

@JoranMullebrouck Well it didnt take long to make it maybe about a week to put everything together, but i had to learn everything (code, circuits and how to make everything) and that took about a year haha. I learned a lot though and feel a lot more confident going into projects now. If you google wireless animatronic hand it will come up with a few link like intructables of how to make everything and all the code and everything :)

Shoot me an email: njkl44@gmail.com

Nice. Can it flip the bird?

[HalfFullEffects]

@Pooper900 you bet ;)

i just read this in popular mechanics and started searching about animatronics and found you!!! Great job, your going to go far in life.

[HalfFullEffects]

@bobofoshoful I'm glad people can find me like that :) I'm also glad to say that other bigger things than popular mechanics have came way already. Should be posting a video in a month or so that will change a lot of things ;)

Hey how long did it take you approximately for all the control and programming?

I'm curious...your glove sends signals to the hand. Could the signals get interpreted into something like a keyboard? IE: you could use the gloves like a keyboard by it interpreting where your fingers are as if you're typing on a keyboard, and take those positon signals to send the proper key to the input on a device? Just seems like you're a step away from a virtual keyboard system there. Really awesome!

I want to do smething like this but i want to work with El wire Lights and music for dancers. Now my Questin . How can i work with Wireless , I need to know how is the code (Sketch) for wireless?

Your work is amazing i like it , respect fr this work !

[NinjaTTT]

Nice job! I'm amazed what can be be done with arduino as rapid prototyping!
