Muscle Sensor Kit
This EMG Sensor or Muscle sensor V3.0 With Cable And Electrodes will measure the filtered and rectified electrical activity of a muscle; outputting 0-Vs Volts depending on the amount of activity in the selected muscle, where Vs signifies the voltage of the power source. Required Power supply voltage: min. +-3.5V. By detecting the electromyogram (EMG), measuring muscle activity has traditionally been used in medical research, however with shrinking but more powerful microcontrollers and integrated circuits the advent of EMG power Road and sensors can be used for various control systems. This EMG Muscle Sensor 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. To use this Muscle sensor you will need few components like batteries , jumper wires , breadboard and arduino
Wiring Instructions:
- To use this sensor, the user must have three electrodes connected to the subject’s body.
- The reference electrode should be placed on an inactive section of the body, such as the bony portion of the elbow, shin or forearm. This electrode should be connected to the black or brown cable.
- The two other electrodes should be placed along the muscle selected to be measured. The second electrode should be placed along the mid-length of the muscle; this electrode should be connected to the red cable.
- The last electrode should be placed at the end of the muscle and connected to the blue cable.
- Finally, connect pin SIG to an analog input pin of your microcontroller and the GND pin to the ground pin on your microcontroller.

1. How does a muscle sensor work?
- The Muscle Sensor uses EMG (electromyography) to sense the electrical activity of your muscles. It then converts that into a varying voltage that can be read on the analogue input pin of any microcontroller.
2. What is Muscle Sensor?
- The muscle sensor detects electrical activity from a muscle using conductive pads placed on the skin. Every time the muscle is activated, individual fibres within it receive electrical impulses, causing them to contract.
3. What is the use of EMG?
- Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure used to determine the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). The results of an EMG can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction, or issues with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission.
