EMG Muscle Signal Sensor Module Kit for Arduino

This sensor will measure the filtered and rectified electrical activity of a muscle, depending the amount of activity in the selected muscle. By detecting the electromyogram (EMG), measuring muscle activity has traditionally been used in medical research, however with shrinking but more powerful microcontrollers and integrated circuits advent EMG power Road and sensors can be used for various control systems. Sensor will measure electrical activity of the muscle output 0-Vs volts, the output size to take Depending on the amount of muscle activity is selected.

Features :

• Power Supply : Normally ±9V dual power supply, minimum voltage is ±3.5V
• Small Form Factor
• Specially Designed For Microcontrollers
• 3.5mm Connector
• Supported with Arduino, Breadboard mountable

1. To use this sensor, the user must have three electrodes connected to the subject’s body.
2. The reference electrode should be placed on an inactive section of the body, such as the bony portion of the elbow, shin or forearm. This electrode should be connected to the black or brown cable.
3. The two other electrodes should be placed along the muscle selected to be measured. The second electrode should be placed along the mid-length of the muscle; this electrode should be connected to the red cable.
4. The last electrode should be placed at the end of the muscle and connected to the blue cable.
5. Finally, connect pin SIG to an analogue input pin of your microcontroller and the GND pin to the ground pin on your microcontroller.
