This is a Transmitter Code. Design and development of a wireless Robotic Arm that mirrors the movement of a hand in the horizontal and vertical direction. For this purpose, we have used FRDMk64F on board accelerometer that collects raw motion in terms of horizontal and vertical axis, processes it and sends it to another FRDM K64F wirelessly. On the other side this FRDM K64F processes the received data and sends a command to servo motor that moves the arms in the direction such a that it imitates the user’s hand.

Dependencies:   DebounceIn FXOS8700Q mbed nRF24L01P

APPARATUS 1. Freescale development board – FRDM K64F 2. Servo Motors (3V to 6 V) DC 3. nRF24L01 – Wireless Trans-receiver 4. Gloves 5. USB cable 6. Gloves 7. Robotic arm MICROBOTLABS
