Product Details
The MyoWare® 2.0 Power Shield is a game - changer for powering the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor in remote applications. It has snap connectors on the board, allowing you to effortlessly stack it on top of the muscle sensor. Just flip the switch to ON, and the sensor gets all the power it needs to detect myoelectric signals. Each board comes with a 40mAh single - cell lithium polymer (LiPo) battery soldered on. You can recharge it via the USB Type C connector with a dedicated LiPo charging circuit set at 40mA. The board features status LEDs for charging (CHG, FULL), power (VIN), and envelope (ENV). Using battery power gives a cleaner signal and avoids dangerous current paths to the power grid, making it perfect for portable use. Note that due to the installed battery, processing may take longer, and it doesn't qualify for same - day shipping. Also, these batteries can't be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii via Ground or Economy methods. The MyoWare 2.0 ecosystem offers easy - to - interface shields with the low - cost, Arduino - compatible MyoWare® 2.0 Muscle Sensor. The innovative connector system lets you snap shields together and connect to a microcontroller's analog input without soldering. A portion of each sale goes to Advancer Technologies for product support and development. Features include a 5V input via USB Type C, a nominal 3.7V output (4.2V when fully charged), a power switch, a built - in 40mAh LiPo battery, an MCP73831 charge IC with a 40mA charge rate, 3x female snap pins, and multiple status LEDs. Board dimensions are 53.34mm x 59.69mm (2.10” x 2.35”). There are also various documents like hookup guides, datasheets, and quickstart guides available, and the product is patent - protected.
Using the MyoWare 2.0 Power Shield is super easy. First, stack it on top of the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor using the snap connectors. Then, flip the power switch to the ON position, and your sensor is ready to detect muscle activity. To charge the built - in 40mAh LiPo battery, simply connect it to a power source via the USB Type C connector. The charging status is shown by the LEDs on the board. When you see the FULL LED on, it means the battery is fully charged. Be aware that because of the battery, processing this item may take a bit longer, and it can't be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii via Ground or Economy methods. For maintenance, keep the board clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you have any issues, refer to the provided documents like the hookup guide and quickstart guide. Have fun using your MyoWare 2.0 Power Shield for all your portable muscle - sensing needs!
