MyoWare Muscle Sensor Development Kit
An Arduino-powered electromyography (EMG) sensor kit that lets you control electronics with your muscles. The MyoWare Muscle Sensor measures the filtered and rectified electrical activity of a muscle, outputting 0V to supply voltage proportional to muscle contraction — just attach the electrodes, flex, and read the signal.
This development kit includes the MyoWare Muscle Sensor plus every shield SparkFun has developed for the platform: Power, Cable, LED, and Proto shields. Stackable headers are included for easy assembly in multiple configurations.
Key Features
- EMG Muscle Sensing – Measures electrical muscle activity with analogue voltage output
- Complete Kit – Sensor, all shields, electrodes, cables, and headers included
- Stackable Shield Design – 3-pin stackable headers for flexible configurations
- Arduino Compatible – Simple analogue voltage output for easy integration
- Biomedical Sensor Pads – Adhesive electrodes included for immediate use
