With the core palm and phalange geometry finalized, power distribution mapped out, and the bill of materials optimized, the project is officially ready for the physical fabrication and assembly phase. ⚙️ Mechanical Engineering & Kinematics The primary mechanical challenge for a tendon-driven bionic hand is managing friction and preventing catastrophic mechanical failure during repeated flexion cycles. We entirely overhauled the internal routing and joint mechanisms to achieve competition-grade reliability. Frictionless Revolute Joints: We stripped out the threaded M2 screws from the phalange joints. The joints have been re-engineered to accept smooth 2.2mm solid brass dowel pins , providing a low-friction, high-strength pivot point that ensures fluid finger movement. Optimized Flexion Routing (The Active Grip): To eliminate the “bowstring” effect, we redesigned the entry tunnels on the palm. The four main finger tension lines now enter the palm cavity via perfectly aligned tunnels featuring a -10° downward draft angle . This forces the high-tensile braided line flush against the joint grooves, maximizing servo leverage. All sharp 90-degree channel exits were filleted into smooth “trumpet flares” to prevent the threads from shearing under load. Antagonistic Elastic Extension (Passive Return): For the fingers to snap back open instantaneously when the servos release, we implemented an external elastic extensor system. We modeled a Unified Wrist Anchor block at the base of the palm. 1mm shock cord anchors at the fingertips, routes seamlessly over the knuckles, and ties off securely at the base of the palm, providing the exact passive tension required for a lifelike, snappy release. Removable Maintenance Hatch: The palm features a custom-traced, screw-mounted top plate with a generous cutout for full thumb articulation. This protects the internal servo array while allowing rapid access for tension-line adjustments. ⚡ Electronics & Power Architecture Running five high-torque micro servos simultaneously while reading delicate analog muscle signals requires isolating the high-current demands of the actuators from the logic board. Main Controller: The system is governed by a Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040), chosen for its robust hardware PWM processing capabilities. Power Distribution: A 7.4V 2S Li-ion battery serves as the primary power source. This is routed through a high-efficiency 5V Buck Converter (rated for ≥3 Amps) directly to the servo power rails. The Pico is powered safely without having to sink the massive stall currents generated when the hand grips an object. A 1000uF decoupling capacitor bridges the 5V rail to smooth out transient voltage spikes. Biometric Input: We integrated the MyoWare 2.0 muscle sensor, passing raw electromyography (EMG) signals directly to the Pico’s ADC0 (GPIO26) pin."}, {"post_id": 9357, "ts": "2026-06-15T18:12:24Z", "hours": 1.1767, "text": "devlog 5 or 4 i honestly dont remember lol: I am done with the Palm!!!! and I also assembled the fingers to check !!! yes lets goo!!

Devlog2 : Unbound bionix, Update: last devlog I was finished with the index finger dimensions well I just printed index finger to confirm movement and it’s moving as expected, I also Made the middle finger design by editing sketch of index finger but fixing the hole sliding issue, failures: I encountered multiple failures planning the design of index finger, but I did make it work and I am really happy for that, what is left? designing all fingers and thumb according to their dimensions and then designing the palm and forearm respectively and then moving on to the electronics part session pic: here is one session pic where I show the assembled middle finger design, for the middle finger the proximal phalange is 5 cm long, the distal phalange is 2 cm and the middle phalange is 3 cm!
Devlog 3 : Bionix Ring finger design has been done and assembled in a sepearate folder I did not face any problems while making this design, Only pinky finger and thumb are left then I will start with palm and forearm respectively!
Devlog 4: I was already done with 2 fingers earlier, I made the 3rd one today and I used Ai to build the pinky and thumb finger as it was just copying the dimensions editing the sketch and fixing the hole problem What I set out to build : I wanted to complete the fingers in this session which I did achieve + I am done with palm’s basic layout and structure planning, In next session I will be improving and finalising the palm assembling all of it together for once to check it all fits then work on the forearm
devlog 5 or 4 i honestly dont remember lol: I am done with the Palm!!!! and I also assembled the fingers to check !!! yes lets goo!! Printing the index finger tomorrow
Devlog: Final Engineering Push – Kinematics, Power Architecture, and Assembly Readiness Date: June 19, 2026 Status: Design Locked / Fabrication Ready The past several intensive engineering sessions have brought Bionix from a conceptual CAD model to a fully robust, physically viable electro-mechanical prototype. With the core palm and phalange geometry finalized, power distribution mapped out, and the bill of materials optimized, the project is officially ready for the physical fabrication and assembly phase. ⚙️ Mechanical Engineering & Kinematics The primary mechanical challenge for a tendon-driven bionic hand is managing friction and preventing catastrophic mechanical failure during repeated flexion cycles. We entirely overhauled the internal routing and joint mechanisms to achieve competition-grade reliability. Frictionless Revolute Joints: We stripped out the threaded M2 screws from the phalange joints. The joints have been re-engineered to accept smooth 2.2mm solid brass dowel pins , providing a low-friction, high-strength pivot point that ensures fluid finger movement. Optimized Flexion Routing (The Active Grip): To eliminate the “bowstring” effect, we redesigned the entry tunnels on the palm. The four main finger tension lines now enter the palm cavity via perfectly aligned tunnels featuring a -10° downward draft angle . This forces the high-tensile braided line flush against the joint grooves, maximizing servo leverage. All sharp 90-degree channel exits were filleted into smooth “trumpet flares” to prevent the threads from shearing under load. Antagonistic Elastic Extension (Passive Return): For the fingers to snap back open instantaneously when the servos release, we implemented an external elastic extensor system. We modeled a Unified Wrist Anchor block at the base of the palm. 1mm shock cord anchors at the fingertips, routes seamlessly over the knuckles, and ties off securely at the base of the palm, providing the exact passive tension required for a lifelike, snappy release. Removable Maintenance Hatch: The palm features a custom-traced, screw-mounted top plate with a generous cutout for full thumb articulation. This protects the internal servo array while allowing rapid access for tension-line adjustments. ⚡ Electronics & Power Architecture Running five high-torque micro servos simultaneously while reading delicate analog muscle signals requires isolating the high-current demands of the actuators from the logic board. Main Controller: The system is governed by a Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040), chosen for its robust hardware PWM processing capabilities. Power Distribution: A 7.4V 2S Li-ion battery serves as the primary power source. This is routed through a high-efficiency 5V Buck Converter (rated for ≥3 Amps) directly to the servo power rails. The Pico is powered safely without having to sink the massive stall currents generated when the hand grips an object. A 1000uF decoupling capacitor bridges the 5V rail to smooth out transient voltage spikes. Biometric Input: We integrated the MyoWare 2.0 muscle sensor, passing raw electromyography (EMG) signals directly to the Pico’s ADC0 (GPIO26) pin.
Update on Bionix I am finished with my basic hand structure i printed it irl and saw some errors and then fixed it in CAD next is to work on the thread routing channels!! keep following and checking out my github
OH MY DAYS! I MOVED A SERVO FROM MY MUSCLE SIGNALS! this is definetely my lifes greatest achievement ok so I used electrodes and muscle sensor and wrote some basic code to move the servo based on muscle sensors output! I printed bionix a lot of times reiterated designs added arches in fingers for thread routing curled the index finger too! too much achieved im proud of myself! ### Lets Keep Rocking!
I could not make the full project but Now I am going to submit the design and I have made some changes in code which I will be commiting in a day
