Applied Instrumentation: Strain Measurements Using Arduino and Strain Gauge

Abstract

Herein we show the results of dry electrodes based on two types of elec- trodes chromium-gold and gold and the integration to a real-time sEMG collection system. The system uses a PXI chassis with a National Instruments FPGA module that performs a manual selection of amplification gains. A real-time PXI module was utilized with LabVIEW to allow the use of EMG signal decomposition tech- niques in the study of motion intention identification, prosthesis movements, and neuromuscular integrity analysis.
