This paper presents the development process
starting from a simple electronic module for amplification of
EMG signals. During development the tasks to be solved were
extended towards the creation of an EMG-base controller that
eventually can be connected to a PC. Among the main goals were
the simplicity and low cost of production. There are similar
devices commercially available, but the main focus was on the
whole process of design, testing, fabrication and the exploration
of application areas. It was important to use medical
recommendations. The device matches the suggestion of
SENIAM, except for the resolution of A/D conversion, which is
permissible due to the fact that it was not designed for medical
purposes. The final version is capable of detecting and amplifying
EMG signals, with the appropriate filtering and digitizing
procedures for further processing. With the development of
wireless communication capabilities, the device which can be
attached to the forearm can be used as a USB HID device with a
PC. A number of additional applications are also discussed,
pointing out the fact that this piece of technology offers a wide
range of possibilities.
