In this video; 3D robot hand assembly, servo control, flex sensor control, wireless control with nRF24L01, Arduino
receiver and transmitter source code are available. In short, in this project we will learn how to control a robot hand
with a wireless glove.
With this tutorial video you can see the robotic arm assembly and more. I added a video because some parts of
the robotic arm assembly are very detailed.

At this point, the servos should already be mounted into the forearm. To connect them to the power
supply and Arduino, you can use a small breadboard.
Remember to connect the negative on the breadboard to the Arduino's GND. All the GNDs in a
circuit need to be connected for it to work.
I recommend using the power adapter for the nRF24L01+ module. Otherwise, communication may
be broken due to insufficient current.
If you encounter the these problems: vibration in servo motors, servo motors not working,
communication breakdown and in similar situations, supply your Arduino board with external power
(like USB).
If you used different pins than pins shown in below, change them in codes.
The flex sensors require a circuit in order for them to be compatible with Arduino. Flex sensors are
variable resistors, so I recommend using a voltage divider. I used 10K resistor.
The main GND (ground) wire connected to all individual GND wires from the sensors, gets
connected to the GND of the Arduino. The +5 V from the Arduino goes to the main positive voltage
wire. The wire from each flex sensor is connected to a separate analog input pin via the voltage
divider.
I soldered the circuit onto a small PCB, one that could be easily mounted onto the glove.You can
build the circuit on the small breadboard instead of the PCB.
You can use 9V battery for circuit of the glove.
If you used different pins than pins shown in below, change them in codes.
Download the RF24.h library and move it to the Arduino libraries folder.

After the flex sensors are connected o the glove, read and note the minimum and maximum values
that each flex sensor has detected.
Then enter these values into the transmitter (glove) code.
Keep all servo motors at 10 or 170 degrees before attaching the servo pulleys to the servo motors.
When mounting the servo pulleys, keep fingers in the closed or opened position (according to your
servo positions).
Then wrap around the servo pulley until the braid wires becomes stretched.
Move all the fingers to the closed and opened position by checking the servo motors one by one.
Then get the best angles for servo motors (servo angles while fingers closed and opened).
Enter the servo motors angles and flex sensor values to the transmitter code as follows.
flex sensor min. value, flex sensor max. value, servo min. angle, servo max. angle
There is only one change in the receiver source code. Which flex sensor in the transmitter will
control which servo motor in the receiver? For example, msg[0] sends the data of the x sensor-5. If
you want to control the servo motor-5 with the flex sensor-5, you can do this by typing 'servo-
5.write(msg[0])'.
If you used different pins than pins shown in circuit, change them in both codes.
I know it's a little complex the last part, but please do not forget: there is no hard! You can do it! Just think,
research, trust yourself and try.

Hey Mert This project is awesome. can u tell me that is there a website through which we can get
online printed material just like jlc pcb
Very cool!
Thanks
