Seeed Studio Grove EMG Detector Kit with Electrodes and Cables

The Seeed Studio Grove EMG Detector Kit is an EMG sensor kit for detecting and measuring muscle activity with Arduino and other microcontrollers. It captures small muscle signals and processes them through a two-stage amplification and filtering circuit to produce a clean, readable output signal.

Overview

The EMG Detector acts as a bridge between the human body and electronic systems. In its standby state, the sensor maintains a stable output voltage of 1.5 V. When muscle activation is detected, the output rises proportionally to a maximum of 3.3 V, allowing precise monitoring of muscle contractions and activity levels. The detector operates within both 3.3 V and 5 V systems and is compatible with a wide range of development boards and projects.

Key Features

• Grove-compatible 3.5 mm 4-pin connector for quick connection to Grove system base shields
• Works with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller systems, including Arduino
• No additional power supply required beyond the main microcontroller board
• Variable output signal from 1.5 V (standby) to 3.3 V (maximum muscle activity)

Package Contents

The kit includes one EMG Detector board, one Grove 4-pin cable, six disposable surface electrodes, and a 1000 mm cable lead set, providing ample length for comfortable placement and experimentation.

Dimensions and Weight

Width 2.2, depth 0.2, height 3.3, and weight 42 gm. The Seeed Studio Grove EMG Detector Kit provides a practical way to add muscle activity sensing to Arduino and other microcontroller projects.
