Product Details
The MyoWare® 2.0 Muscle Sensor Basic Kit is an Arduino-compatible all-in-one electromyography (EMG) sensor kit. It offers the essentials from the MyoWare 2.0 ecosystem to start measuring and visualizing muscle activity. Just snap on the MyoWare 2.0 LED Shield, add EMG sensor pads, attach the sensor to a muscle group, and flex! The kit comes with a mini screwdriver for easy shield removal, a USB A to C cable to recharge the 40mAh LiPo battery, and a MyoWare 2.0 Reference Cable for large muscle groups. The redesigned MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor features a user - friendly, compact design and an upgraded chipset for better performance and reliability. It measures muscle activity via surface electromyography (EMG). When you flex a muscle, the sensor analyzes the electrical activity and outputs a signal indicating the flex strength. The snap connector system eliminates soldering with the LED Shield, and the 10 - segment blue bar graph visually represents the measured signal. This kit can work without a microcontroller following the standalone example in the guide. Use it to monitor workout intensity, as a teaching tool, or for a fun myoelectric touch on your Halloween costume. If you're unsure about board selection, check the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor Development Kit. Note: Due to the battery, processing may take longer, and it doesn't qualify for same - day shipping. Batteries can't be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii via Ground or Economy. The sensor and shield aren't for medical diagnosis or treatment. The MyoWare 2.0 ecosystem has shields that easily connect to the sensor, eliminating board - to - board soldering. A portion of sales supports product development. The kit includes 1x MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor, 1x MyoWare 2.0 LED Shield, 1x 2m Reversible USB A to C Cable, 1x 10 - pack of 24mm Disposable Surface EMG/ECG/EKG Electrodes, 1x MyoWare 2.0 Reference Cable, and 1x SparkFun Mini Screwdriver. It doesn't include a microcontroller, and users may need to solder connections. There are various documents like board dimensions, hookup guides, and datasheets available.
To use the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor Basic Kit, first snap on the MyoWare 2.0 LED Shield. Then, add the EMG sensor pads and attach the sensor to a muscle group. Simply flex your muscle, and the sensor will start measuring the activity. The blue 10 - segment bar graph on the LED Shield will show you how hard the muscle is being flexed. When it comes to charging, use the USB A to C cable to recharge the 40mAh LiPo battery. There's a mini screwdriver in the kit if you need to remove the shields. Remember, this kit doesn't include a microcontroller. If you want to connect it to one, you'll need to solder the connections using wires or headers. And if you're connecting directly to a single - board computer, you'll need an ADC and USB isolator. Since there's a battery in the equipment, processing may take longer, and it doesn't qualify for same - day shipping. Also, the batteries can't be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii via Ground or Economy methods. For maintenance, keep the sensor and other components clean and dry. Don't expose them to extreme temperatures or moisture. When not in use, store the kit in a safe place. And always refer to the provided documents like the hookup guide and datasheets for more detailed information.
