This is an EKG/EMG shield which allows Arduino like boards to capture Electrocardiography Electromyography signals. The shield opens new possibilities to experiment. You can monitor your heartbeat and log your pulse, recognize gestures by monitoring and analyze the muscle activity as it is done in this project.SHIELD-EKG-EMG converts the analog differential signal (the ECG/EMG bio potentials generated by muscles), attached to its CH1_IN /CH1_IN- inputs, into a single stream of data as output. The output signal is analog and have to be discretized further with aim to give the option of digital processing. Typically, this is done via dedicated ADC embedded in the MCU of the base board (like: OLIMEXINO-328, OLIMEXINO-32U4, OLIMEXINO-STM32, etc). In the demo example we have provided, “ShieldEkgEmgDemo.ino”, we have used 10-bit ADC with 256Hz sampling rate.SHIELD-EKG-EMG’s total gain is the product of the gains of each discretization stage: Instrumental Amplifier(G1=10), OAmp with regulated gain (G2=6..101) and 3rd order “Besselworth” filter (G3=3.56). Then, the Total = G1*G2*G3 = 10*(6..101)*3.56. By default, we have set the G2 gain approximately ~80. Then, Gtotal = 10*(~80)*3.56 ~ 2848.Vmaxanalog = 3.0V/2848 ~ 1mVNote that the 3rd order “Besselworth” filter’s cutoff frequency is set to fc = 40Hz.FEATURESStackable connectors — up to 6 channels can be stacked and wired to A0-A6 analogue inputsCalibration signal generation by D4/D9 digital outputPrecise trimmer potentiometer for calibration (all boards are shipped completely assembled, tested and calibrated so that you don’t have to do this unless you want to see how things works)Input connector for standard or active electrodesWorks with both 3.3V and 5V Arduino boardsDOCUMENTSSHIELD-EKG-EMG user’s manual document revision ESHIELD-EKG-EMG European Declaration of ConformitySHIELD-EKG-EMG UKCA Declaration of ConformityHARDWARESHIELD-EKG-EMG schematic in PDF format released under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States LicenseSHIELD-EKG-EMG schematic and board in Eagle format released under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States LicenseSOFTWAREDemo with Olimexino-2560 and Arduino IDEElectric guru monitoring software, created by Rob SacksArduino example for EKG capture and interface to Electric Guru for OLIMEXINO-328/Arduino boardsMaple example for EKG capture and interface to Electric Guru for OLIMEXINO-STM32Pinguino example for EKG capture and interface to Electric Guru for PIC32-PINGUINO/OTG/MX220 (refer to the readme and the comments in the code for more info)
