The MyoWare Muscle sensor has been redesigned from the ground up with a new easy-to-use, compact design & upgraded with the latest & greatest chipset improving sensor performance & reliability. The innovative snap connector system eliminates the need to solder connections for the MyoWare 2.0 ecosystem. It's that easy: stick on a few electrodes (not included), read the output voltage & flex some muscles! The sensor measures muscle activity through the electric potential of the muscle, commonly referred to as surface electromyography (EMG or sEMG for short). When your brain tells your muscle to flex, it sends an electrical signal to your muscle to start recruiting motor units (the bundles of muscle fibers that generate the force behind your muscles). The sensor builds upon its previous wearable design that allows you to attach sensor pads directly to the board itself, getting rid of those pesky cables. This board includes a single-supply voltage of +3.3V to +5V, three output modes, reverse polarity protected power pins, & indicator LEDs. We have developed a few shields (such as the Cable, Power, & LED shields to name a few) that can attach to the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor to help increase its versatility & functionality! The MyoWare 2.0 ecosystem consists of shields that easily interface with the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor, which is a low-cost, compatible with Arduino, all-in-one electromyography (EMG) sensor from Advancer Technologies. The innovative connector system allows users to easily snap shields together with a compact low profile & connect to a microcontroller's analog input to measure raw, filtered, & rectified electrical activity of a target muscle. This eliminates the need to solder connections between boards. This product is a collaboration with Brian Kaminski from Advancer Technologies. A portion of each sales goes back to them for product support & continued development.MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor Form Factor: 3x Female Snap Pins (Input Electrodes), 3x Male Snap Pins (Power & EMG Envelope Output); Expandable via Shields; Reference Electrode Jumper; Specially Designed For Microcontrollers; Adjustable Gain; Board Dimensions: 37.57mm x 35.90mm (1.48” x 1.41”). Wearable Design; Supply Voltage: Minimum: +2.27V, Typically: +3.3V to +5V, Maximum: +5.47V; Input Bias Current: 250pA, max 1nA; Reverse Polarity Protection; Three Output Modes: Raw EMG, Rectified, Envelope; LED Indicators: VIN, ENV. Using our muscles to control things is the way that most of us are accustomed to doing it. We push buttons, pull levers, move joysticks... but what if we could take the buttons, levers & joysticks out of the equation & control it w/ our muscles? The MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor is a compatible with Arduino, all-in-one electromyography (EMG) sensor from Advancer Technologies that allows you to do just that!. Note: This sensor is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation treatment, or prevention of disease, in a person or other animals. Note: Board only, additional accessories may be needed. Revision Changes: The following changes for V2.0.4 include: PCB board thickness increased; NPTH for snap connector buttons; Updated footprint for snap connectors buttons with slots for improved cleaning; Updated size of reference pin's jumper pad.
