CyberGauntlet: Wearable Controller for CyberBrick

CYBERGAUNTLET: THE ULTIMATE WEARABLE REMOTE 🤖🫴

Control your CyberBrick world with the power of your own hand!

This project is an entry for the CyberBrick remote master challenge. It is a fully articulated, wearable exoskeleton controller designed to translate your finger movements into digital commands. Whether you are controlling a robotic arm, a vehicle, or a game interface, the CyberGauntlet offers unmatched immersion.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY & HARDWARE

This model was designed with efficiency and accessibility in mind:

• Single Kit Build: The entire project is designed to be built using ONLY the components found in the standard "CyberBrick Hardware Kit 1 (Controller/Remote)". No extra screws or obscure parts hunting required.
• 5 Degrees of Freedom: The gauntlet tracks 5 individual movements (1 per finger) for better control.
• Universal Fit: I designed it for my hand, but I have included 3 different sizes (Small, Medium (default), Large) to fit most users. Check the "Other Sizes" print profile.

CONTROLLER MAPPING

The 5 Degrees of Freedom are mapped to the CyberBrick channels as follows:

STEP 0: SIZING & FIT

Before assembling, ensure you have printed the correct size for your hand. Try on the printed parts and move your fingers to check for comfort.

Note: The main model is designed based on my hand size. I have created "Small" and "Large" versions available in the print profiles. I have not personally tested these versions yet, so your feedback is greatly appreciated and encouraged!

STEP 10: Calibration & Tensioning

Adjust the length of the threads to maximize the joystick's range of motion and maintain proper tension.
