3D printed Bionic Hand a little IOT and a Xamarin Mobile App

" summary

Builds a 3D‑printed prosthetic for Kayden (13–14) from Open Bionics files using a Prusa MK3 and four actuators (~£50 each), swaps the bespoke board for off‑the‑shelf IoT parts and an Adafruit Feather M0 BLE plus an I2C DC motor driver, and controls grips over Bluetooth LE from a Xamarin mobile app. Claims future hands can be made for £80 parts (current prototype ~£200–£500 after printer and motors), demos basic grip commands (G0) successfully, and documents burned a board with a 4.2V battery and recovery steps.
