Hello guys!

 

i know leapMotion is not a new service, but i recently had the necessity to use it for some work, and ofcourse MRL was the platform i used!

With alot of help from Kevin i did reach a final script that uses leap to mimic my index finger and moves a servo accordingly.

The script prints all info from all fingers and palm, however i am only using the index from right hand to control the servos (ofc u can control multiple servos).

In my case i also updated the data obtained 0-100 (angle of index) to 180-0 for the servo degrees and inversion which was needed on this specific case.

so here goes the script for future usage:

# when leap motion data is detected, it will be passed in here
def onLeapData(data):
  # make sure we get the global scope of the servo service here.
  global servo01
  # process the data that came in.
  # right hand first
  if (data.rightHand):
    # if the data has a right hand, print out some info about it.
    print("Right Thumb =" + str(data.rightHand.thumb))   
    print("Right Index =" + str(data.rightHand.index))
    print("Right Middle =" + str(data.rightHand.middle))
    print("Right Ring =" + str(data.rightHand.ring))
    print("Right Pinky =" + str(data.rightHand.pinky))
    print("Right Hand Position: x=" + str(data.rightHand.posX) + " y=" + str(data.rightHand.posY) + " z=" + str(data.rightHand.posZ))
    # update a position of
    indexarino = ((100-data.rightHand.index)*1.8)
    servo01.moveTo(indexarino)
  else:
    # the right hand wasn't found.
    print("Right hand not detected.")
  # left hand data.
  if (data.leftHand):
    # print some info about the left hand
    print("Left Thumb =" + str(data.leftHand.thumb))   
    print("Left Index =" + str(data.leftHand.index))
    print("Left Middle =" + str(data.leftHand.middle))
    print("Left Ring =" + str(data.leftHand.ring))
    print("Left Pinky =" + str(data.leftHand.pinky))
    print("Left Hand Position: x=" + str(data.leftHand.posX) + " y=" + str(data.leftHand.posY) + " z=" + str(data.leftHand.posZ))
  else:
    # print left hand not found.
    print("Left hand not detected.")

  if (data.frame):
    # this is the raw frame info from the leap if you want it.
    print(str(frame))
