This project is complex, and there is a lot of information presented on the website. To prevent you from getting lost, we recommend following this roadmap:
Check out the materials and tools list, then setup the arduino programing environment. Once your computer is set up, look through the helpful resources to learn about important engineering concepts.
Start constructing your powered leg with step 1: Microcontroller and Wiring. Work your way through the remaining steps of the Build section and then continue to Control. Along the way, we have included instructional videos, demos, and links to external websites with additional information. Once complete, you will have a working powered prosthetic that you can walk or climb stairs with!
If at any point you get stuck, come back to the helpful resources or send us a message. Our goal is to make the U-Build Bionic Knee is as accessible as possible. If you believe there are any errors, lack of information, or challenges we should address, let us know so that we can correct it.
