Muscle Sensor Module for Arduino

The Muscle Sensor Module for Arduino measures the tiny electrical potentials generated by muscle movement (electromyography or EMG) and converts them into a stable, readable analog voltage. Perfect for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers, this module enables projects that respond directly to human muscle activity.

With its high-gain instrumentation amplifier, built-in filtering, and simple 3-pin output, the module is ideal for wearable electronics, prosthetic control, robotics, and gesture-based gaming.

🔹 Key Features

• EMG Sensing: Captures electrical signals from muscle contractions.

• Integrated Signal Conditioning: Built-in amplifier and filter for noise-free output.

• Analog Output: Provides 0–Vcc voltage proportional to muscle activity.

• Arduino-Friendly: 3-pin interface (VCC, GND, OUT) for easy connection.

• Reusable Electrodes: Compatible with standard disposable EMG electrodes.

🔹 Technical Specifications

• Operating Voltage: 3.3 V – 5 V DC

• Output Voltage Range: 0 – VCC analog signal

• Signal Bandwidth: 10 Hz – 500 Hz (typical)
