The MyoWare® 2.0 Wireless Shield is an amazing device. It can take readings from the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor and wirelessly send sensor data via the ESP32 - WROOM. It comes with a built - in LiPo battery, allowing you to power the muscle sensor and the ESP32 module remotely. With snap connectors and low - profile pogo pins on the board, you can easily stack it on top of the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor. Just choose a power source, flip the power switch on, and let the sensor work its myoelectric magic. The board has a USB Type C and a CH340 USB - to - serial converter, enabling programming via serial using the Arduino IDE. A reset button resets the ESP32. There are also various protection circuits, like ESD protection diodes for USB data lines, a resettable PTC fuse for VUSB, and ideal diodes for VUSB and VBATT nets. Each board has a 40mAh single - cell lithium polymer (LiPo) battery that can be recharged through the USB Type C connector. The dedicated LiPo charging circuit has a charge rate of about 40mA. Using battery power and wireless data transmission gives complete isolation from the power grid. Power is regulated to 3.3V. You can select the power source and turn the board on/off with the included switches. There's also a button to put the ESP32 in bootloader mode, which can be used as a general - purpose button. The board has two horizontal Qwiic connectors and 2.2k ohm pull - up resistors for additional Qwiic - enabled devices. Standard 0.1' - spaced plated through holes (PTHs) break out some ESP32 module pins for users. It also has status LEDs for power, charge status, user, and envelope, and additional jumpers. You can use it as a teaching tool to reduce wires in your system or add a myoelectric touch to your Halloween costume. Note that due to the installed battery, this item may take longer to process and doesn't qualify for same - day shipping. Also, the batteries can't be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii via Ground or Economy methods. MyoWare and the Wireless Shield are not for diagnosing or treating diseases in humans or animals. The MyoWare® 2.0 ecosystem has shields that easily interface with the MyoWare® 2.0 Muscle Sensor, a low - cost, Arduino - compatible, all - in - one electromyography (EMG) sensor. The innovative connector system lets you snap shields together and connect to a microcontroller's analog input to measure muscle electrical activity without soldering. A portion of each sale goes to Advancer Technologies for product support and development.
Using the MyoWare 2.0 Wireless Shield is quite straightforward. First, stack it on top of the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor. You can do this easily because of the snap connectors and low - profile pogo pins on the board. Then, select your power source. You can choose to use the built - in 40mAh LiPo battery or connect via the USB Type C connector. After that, flip the power switch to the ON position. The sensor will then start taking readings and sending data wirelessly. To program the device, use the Arduino IDE with the help of the USB Type C and CH340 USB - to - serial converter. If you need to reset the ESP32, just press the reset button. When it comes to charging the battery, connect the device to a power source via the USB Type C connector. The battery will charge at a rate of about 40mA. Remember, due to the battery in the equipment, it may take longer to process your order, 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 board clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you want to add additional Qwiic - enabled devices, use the two horizontal Qwiic connectors on the board. And that's all you need to know to get the most out of your MyoWare 2.0 Wireless Shield.
