Description:

The MyoWare Muscle Sensor from Advancer Technologies measures, filters, rectifies, and amplifies the electrical activity of a muscle and produces an analog output signal that can easily be read by a microcontroller, enabling novel, muscle-controlled interfaces for your projects.

Features:

• Dimensions: 2.1″ × 0.8″ (excluding reference electrode cable, which is about  3″ long)
• Operating voltage: 2.9 V to 5.7 V (unlike previous sensor versions, no negative supply is required)
• Analog voltage output from 0 V to +Vs (supply voltage)
• Adjustable gain
• Both EMG envelope and raw EMG outputs available
• Embedded electrode connectors – electrodes snap directly into MyoWare (alternatively, external electrode cables can be connected)
• LED Indicators – one power LED, and one LED that brightens when the muscle is flexed
• Power switch
• Reverse voltage protection
• Two mounting holes (suitable for M3 or #4 screws)
• Informative user’s guide (1MB pdf)
