OpenPrintSense - Găng tay cảm biến flex BLE in 3D

OpenPrintSense - 3D Printed BLE Flex Sensor Glove

OpenPrintSense is an open-source project that combines 3D printing, hardware, and software to create a wearable finger tracking system. The key innovation is a fully 3D-printed flex sensor that uses conductive TPU filament - as the sensor bends, its electrical resistance changes, allowing precise measurement of finger flexion. Data is transmitted wirelessly via BLE to an Android smartphone.

How It Works

The 3D-printed sensor combines flexible TPU with conductive filament. When you bend your finger:

1. The conductive filament stretches

2. This increases the electrical resistance

3. The microcontroller reads the resistance change via analog input

4. The bend angle is calculated and sent to the app
