Arm works as it should. The biggest problem now is figuring out the way to control it in such a way that it follows your movement. After few days of playing with Myoware Muscle Sensor, I figured out that it is not as useful as I thought. The main problem is that it can only "usefully" detects two values (flex and not flex) therefore it's useless for our goal.
I'm thinking of developing similar control as is shown in the video. There would be two sensors each placed on opposing sides of the fore arm, and they would detect when user pushes arm down or up.
This type of control works, until I try to lift heavy objects and force of the Exo-Arm triggers bottom sensor and I trigger upper sensor. So we are still a long way to go, but I'm staying positive!
