How to make an EMG senor

Return to projects list

Here is a fun project in which I'll guide you towards the conception of an EMG sensor, a game-changing innovation in the world of gaming. With this simple device, the interaction with video games is revolutionaized by enabling players to control their gameplay entirely through the power of their muscle movements. Gone are the days of traditional physical game controllers. This EMG sensor harnesses the electrical signals generated by muscle contractions to seamlessly translate them into in-game actions.

The circuit presented is only a prototype and currently allows to perform only a signle action (e.g. shooting), but the circuit can easily be generalized in order to include the possibility of moving all direction. Watch the demonstration in this video:

For the circuit diagram, the PCB layout, and all explanation and calculations, check the video above. The links to download everything you need are given in the video's description.
