Working on what will hopefully be a low-cost and open-source version of Imogen Heap’s musical gloves. This video is just a quick demo an ArduIMU-based data glove with six flex sensors mounted on the figures and an RN-42 Bluetooth module.
This is my first Arduino project. I could not get the ArduIMU example code to compile so I wrote everything from scratch. The gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer are currently uncalibrated. I’m using my own AHRS algorithm (running on ArduIMU). The magnetometer is currently unused. The algorithm updates at 100 Hz and all data (6 flex values, quaternion and xyz values for gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer) is send in ASCII packets at the same rate. The CPU is held up by all interface processes (ADC, I2C, SPI, UART) and has an ultimate idle time of ~40%.
