An open-source software library for numerical computation, data acquisition,
and control of lower-limb robotic prostheses.

Installation

If you plan on installing the opensourceleg library on a Raspberry Pi, we recommend using opensourcelegpi tool, which is a cloud-based CI tool used to build an up-to-date OS for a Raspberry Pi that can be used headless/GUI-less to control autonomous/remote robotic systems. This tool bundles the opensourceleg library and its dependencies into a single OS image, which can be flashed onto a microSD card and used to boot a Raspberry Pi. For more information, click here.
