MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor Version 2.0.4

MyoWare® 2.0 Muscle Sensor (Version 2.0.4, DEV-21265)

The MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor is an all-in-one, Arduino-compatible electromyography (EMG) sensor from Advancer Technologies. Designed for ease of use and improved performance, this compact sensor measures the electrical activity of muscles (surface EMG) to detect and quantify muscle contractions.

Simply attach biomedical sensor pads (sold separately) directly to the board, flex a muscle, and the MyoWare sensor outputs a voltage (0 to VIN) corresponding to the muscle’s activation level. The harder you flex, the higher the output signal, enabling intuitive muscle-based control for robotics, prosthetics, video games, and more.

Key features:

• Surface EMG (sEMG) measurement with onboard filtering and rectification

• Snap connector system—no soldering required

• Single-supply voltage: +3.3V to +5V

• Three output modes

• LED indicators and reverse polarity protection

• Compatible with MyoWare 2.0 shields (Power, LED, Cable, etc.)

Perfect for prototyping human-machine interfaces, this wearable sensor opens the door to innovative applications in muscle-controlled devices—all without traditional buttons or joysticks.

Note: This device is intended for research and development only. It is not approved for medical diagnosis or treatment.

Revision Changes: The following changes for V2.0.4 include:

• PCB board thickness increased.
• NPTH for snap connector buttons.
• Updated footprint for snap connectors buttons with slots for improved cleaning.
• Updated size of reference pin’s jumper pad.
