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.
