Grip strength project

Sun Apr 16, 2017 4:47 pm

Hi All,

I recently completed a project which interfaces the RPi with a load cell. It measures how strong you can squeeze the load cell and plots your grip strength on the screen.

The entire project is up on GitHub: https://github.com/michaelorr92/grip-strength

There you can find the code to interface the load cell; how to download and compile it; and some hardware files so you can manufacture a PCB easily.

The code should work with any load cell than can run from the RPi (i.e. can run on 5V).
