Javascriptic Robot Hand

This is a simple robotic hand to test LeapMotion and Littlebits. All it does is to send signal from LeapMotion to the Littlebits Arduino.

Step 1:

Assemble the Robotic Hand.

I bought this 4M Robotic Hand Kit

http://www.amazon.com/4M-3774-Robotic-Hand-Kit/dp/B005MK0OPO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452880887&sr=8-1&keywords=robotic+hand

Assembled it except the handle.

Step 2:

Add the Servos

I attached the servos the base then connect it to the strings that controls the fingers.

Step 3:

Connect Servos to Littlebits Arduino

Step 4:

Littlebits Arduino is connected to my laptop. 

Step 5:

Setup Leap Motion. 

Create a new Node JS project. Setup leap motion in cylon.

npm install cylon cylon-leapmotion

Follow instructions here.

I tested this code first.

var Cylon = require('cylon');
Cylon.robot({
 connections: {
   leapmotion: { adaptor: 'leapmotion' }
 },
 devices: {
   leapmotion: { driver: 'leapmotion' }
 },
 work: function(my) {
   my.leapmotion.on('hand', function(payload) {
     Logger.info(payload.toString());
   });
 }
}).start();
