Hiwonder Wireless Glove Open-source Somatosensory Mechanical Glove for Robot Control

What components are built into the wireless glove and what is its intended use?

The glove includes a built in Bluetooth module, an accelerometer sensor, and five encoders along with an ATmega328p microcontroller. It is designed to control bionic robots and is compatible with the Arduino development environment. Open source resources including schematics, source code, and a range of control routines are provided to support development.

Is this compatible with the Arduino development environment and can it be used with robots from other manufacturers?

Yes, it is designed to work with the Arduino development environment. If you plan to control robots not manufactured by Hiwonder, ensure that the Bluetooth modules used in those robots are DX-BT24 or HC-08.

What are the key hardware specifications of the wireless glove?

The glove size is 118 by 110 mm and it weighs 220 g. It uses an ATmega328p microcontroller and a 7.4 V LiPo battery. The Bluetooth module measures 34 by 28 by 10 mm and weighs 5 g, and the baud rate is 9600.

Is there open source documentation and how can I access it?

Yes, the system is fully open source. Schematic diagrams, source code, and control routines are provided to support secondary development.

How do I get started with using the glove in a project?

Use the Arduino development environment with the provided source code and control routines to program robot control. Pair the device via Bluetooth at 9600 baud and refer to the schematics for hardware integration.
