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.
