MyoWare Muscle Sensor Development Kit

Ever thought about controlling things without pushing buttons, pulling levers, or moving joysticks? The Advanced MyoWare Muscle Sensor Development Kit makes this possible! Powered by Arduino, it's an electromyography (EMG) sensor kit that offers a MyoWare Muscle Sensor, unique shields developed by SparkFun, and all the necessary components for seamless connection. The MyoWare board in this kit measures the filtered and rectified electrical activity of your muscles. It outputs a voltage ranging from 0 to Vs (where Vs is the power - source voltage) based on muscle activity. Setting up this kit is a breeze. Just attach the shields to the muscle sensor, stick on the included electrodes, read the voltage, and start flexing those muscles! This kit comes with everything you need to set up the MyoWare Muscle Sensor. You'll get all associated shields like Power, Cable, LED, and Proto, biomedical sensor pads and cable, and headers that can be soldered onto the shields for easy attachment. For easier stacking, it includes 3 - pin stackable headers, allowing multiple stacking configurations. Note: The Power Shield and the LED Shield provide power at slightly different voltages. Avoid using them simultaneously. **What's Included:** - 1x MyoWare Muscle Sensor - 1x MyoWare Power Shield - 1x MyoWare Cable Shield - 1x MyoWare LED Shield - 1x MyoWare Proto Shield - 1x Sensor Cable - 3 Connector - 10x Biomedical Sensor Pad - 11x Stackable Header - 3 Pin, Female - 3x Header - 3 Pin, Male **Documents:** - MyoWare User Manual - MyoWare Muscle Sensor Kit Guide - Conductive Fabric Electrodes - Datasheet (Sensor Pads) - Eagle Files (MyoWare Shields) - Arduino Example Code - GitHub (Example Code & Design Files)

Using the MyoWare Muscle Sensor Development Kit is easy. First, attach the shields to the MyoWare Muscle Sensor. Then, stick the biomedical sensor pads on your muscle. Connect them using the sensor cable. Once everything is connected, you can start seeing the voltage changes as you flex your muscles. When it comes to power, remember not to use the Power Shield and the LED Shield at the same time because they provide power at different voltages. This can cause issues with the kit. To keep your kit in good condition, store it in a dry and clean place. After each use, make sure to disconnect the components properly. If you want to solder the headers onto the shields, be careful and follow proper soldering techniques.
