MyoWare 2 Muscle Sensor Wireless Kit

Build and test wireless muscle-sensing projects with this Arduino-compatible electromyography (EMG) kit from the MyoWare 2 ecosystem. It centres on the MyoWare 2 Muscle Sensor, which measures muscle activity from the electric potential at the skin, commonly called surface electromyography or sEMG.

The included MyoWare 2 Wireless Shield receives readings from the muscle sensor and transmits the sensor data wirelessly using the included ESP32-WROOM. It also has a built-in LiPo battery to power the muscle sensor and ESP32 module remotely, plus snap connectors and low-profile pogo pins so it can stack neatly on top of the MyoWare 2 Muscle Sensor without soldering.

Inside the kit are 20 biomedical sensor pads, a mini screwdriver for removing shields, a USB A to C cable for charging the wireless shield or connecting a microcontroller to a computer, a sensor cable for reaching muscle groups away from the sensor, and a MyoWare cable shield.

The redesigned MyoWare 2 sensor outputs a filtered and rectified signal that represents muscle flexion, making it suitable for Arduino-compatible projects, wireless experiments, and MyoWare 2 add-ons such as the LED Shield. Documentation includes hookup guides, the MyoWare Arduino Library, ArduinoBLE reference material, and example code resources.

Features:

• Arduino-compatible: all-in-one electromyography (EMG) sensor kit for wireless MyoWare 2 projects.
