Step 2: HandTalk

Introduction:

The HANDTALK needs to be worn on the hand by the needy and


depending on the variation of the movements the device will
convert it intelligently into beep (can be voice too) and in a text.
This message will be out from the beeper and LCD display. The
HANDTALK glove senses the movements through the flex
sensors which detects the different patterns of motion. The
device can sense carefully each resistance and each movement
by the hand. Currently the device can convert only few, but
depending on the success of this device few more additional
features maybe added later onto this expressive system.

Technology has always been of great help to the disabled and


given them a helping hand to allow them to live a normal and
healthy life like others. Embedded systems are designed to do
some specific task, rather than be a general purpose computer
for multiple tasks. “Embedded” reflects the fact that they are an
integral part of the system. Some also have real time
performance constraints that must be met, for reason such as
safety and usability; others may have low or no performance
requirements, allowing the system hardware to be simplified to
reduce costs. An embedded system is not always a separate
block- very often it is physically built-in to the device it is
controlling.

Step 3: Hardware and Software Requirnments

Hardware Requirements:

 Arduino Uno/Nano
 Flex Sensors (2.2 inch) - 4/5
 Pulse sensor
 GSM Module SIM 900A
 Beeper
 Resistors - 50 K Ohm,10 K Ohm
 LCD Display
 Glove
 Capacitors
 Connecting Wires
 RF Module (If You want Make It Wireless )

Software Requirements :

Arduino IDE

Step 4: Setup and Working of the Project:

Setup :

1)Connect all the Flex sensor with Arduino as shown in fig. with
proper arrangement of Resistors.

Arduino A0-Flex1

Arduino A1-Flex2

Arduino A2-Flex3

Arduino A3-Flex4

2)Connect the GSM Module with arduino.( Rx and Tx)

3)Fix all the Flex Sensors on the Glove.

4)Connect LCD to arduino.(Pins are discussed in program ).

5)Connect Beeper with arduino. (pin 6)

Working:

The hand glove (fitted with Flex sensors and Pulse sensor*)
,GSM module ,RF Transmitter* and Arduino Uno as a Controller.
All the gestures made by the hand glove (with Flex sensor ) is
converted into different messages and commands for the
operation of different devices .Example , if i want to start a fan
then a command is send to the receiver end by the
microcontroller with the help of RF module and the fan is easily
controlled by the corresponding gestures. Now in case, i need
water (or wheelchair or anything else) , all I need to do is to
make a corresponding gesture accordingly and that gesture
would be converted into text message and sent to the other
person through the GSM module . Now using the Android app
we can convert the text messages into voice also. The Heart
beat module is used for the Heart rate monitoring of the patient
.If there is any problem in heart rate then a message is also sent
to the doctor or family members also. In this project currently we
are using seven gestures due to the problem of the accuracy but
we can add about 100 plus gestures. Some examples of
gestures are in shown in images.

*Pulse sensor is used for heartbeat monitoring.

*RF Transmitter is used for wireless handglove.

Step 5: Connection of Flex Sensor With Arduino

At the place of 50 K resistor,You can use 10 k,20 k or any as per


your requirement.

Step 6: Applications :
 It can be used in hospitals that need several measurement
systems which can investigate physiological parameters of the
patients.

 It can act as a communication aid for the hearing- and


speech-impaired persons.
 Using this we can control any electronic machines and
devices wirelessly by adding some others gestures and
commands.
 This project can be also used as Signed Language
Convertor/Interpreter.
 For gaming purposes like 3D gaming, at the place of
joysticks.
 It can be used in military actions based on hand gestures,
which can be used for squad communication.
 The hand gesture recognition system can be used in
robotics, desktop and tablet PC applications and gaming.
 The Handtalk is also can be used for HOME
AUTOMATION.

Step 7: Conclusion:

 Sign language is a useful tool to ease the communication


between the deaf and the mute community and the normal
people. Yet there is a communication barrier between these
communities with normal people.
 This project is useful for differently abled, speech-impaired
and paralyzed patients who cannot speak properly.
 This work is done to check feasibility of recognizing sign
language using flex sensor and accelerometer gloves and
displaying the data, which proved to be an efficient system.
 The main feature of this research work is that the gesture
recognizer is a standalone system applicable in daily life and for
biomedical purposes.

Step 8: Codeing :

Download the .ino file and open with Arduino IDE .

Upload the Code .

Change mobile no according to your requirements.

Change the output command according to your requirements.

Done .
