This project will capture and utilize myoelectric signals from a subject's body to control an external "limb." The project's primary focus is to measure and record myoelectric signals that will serve as the control for basic direction of any controllable system. We will build the control system using "skin" surface electrodes, buffering circuitry, wireless transmission of analog signals to a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)/microprocessor combination for comparison and manipulation, and output motors for external limb control. This will serve as proof of concept for myoelectric prosthetic control at the Capstone Expo on May 3, 2012.
