SHIELD-EKG-EMG

This section helps you set up the SHIELD-EKG-EMG

 

development board for the first time.

Please consider first the electrostatic warning to avoid damaging the board, then discover the 
hardware and software required to operate the board.

The procedure to power up the board is given, and a description of the default board behavior 
is detailed.

The SHIELD-EKG-EMG

 

development board is shipped in a protective anti-static package. 

The board must not be exposed to high electrostatic potentials. A grounding strap or similar 
protective device should be worn when handling the board. Avoid touching the component 
pins or any other metallic element.

In order to set up the SHIELD-EKG-EMG prototype board, the following items are required:

- SHIELD-EKG-EMG itself
- ARDUINO compatible board* (e.g. OLIMEXINO-328, OLIMEXINO-STM32, PIC32-
PINGUINO)
- Electrode cable** 

*The pinout for the board strictly follows the DUINO extension specification. Best choice for 
a board would be OLIMEXINO-328 or any DUINO board which utilizes the ATmega328 
since we have working and tested examples for those MCUs, configuring them for 
ATmega128 would require tweaking of the code.

**The cable features three electrodes – two data electrodes (1 channel) and DLR electrode 
(feedback). If you use more than one SHIELD-EKG-EMG you can use cables without DLR 
for every shield after the first. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: The electrode cables for SHIELD-EKG-EMG and MOD-EEG-SMT 
differ from each other.

In case you want to build a working SHIELD-EKG-EMG system without owning a DUNIO 
board the best choice would be our board OLIMEXINO-328. This is the web page for the 
board:
