AccuNeedle is a software and hardware solution that uses a gyroscope and accelerometer to provide real-time 3D visualization of a needle during medical procedures. The tool is designed to aid in finding the needle during an ultrasound operation.
The tool uses ESP NOW protocol and is powered by C++ and Processing. The tool wirelessly connects to another esp32 that is connected to a computer using serial for real-time visualization and feedback.
Real-time rendering of needle in 3D. Complementary filter for accurate angle readout Calibration
To use the tool the following components are required.
- 2 ESP32
- 2 MPU6050 from adafruit
- Wires and breadboard
