The Arduino board fulfils two roles:
- acquiring the signals from the EMG sensors on two analogue inputs
- sending this data to a computer via the USB port by emulating a serial link.
The source code of the Arduino program is available in src/software/firmware
At Orthopus, we use the online programming tool developed by Arduino. You can find help and information about this tool by following this link: Getting Started with Arduino Web Editor
-
1️⃣ Create an account on the online programming tool developed by Arduino: Arduino Web Editor
-
2️⃣ Install the Arduino Web Editor plugin
💡 At ORTHOPUS we use the Arduino Web Editor but it is also possible to use and install the Arduino IDE to program the board.
-
3️⃣ Importing the myocoach.ino file into the online code editor
-
4️⃣ Connecting the Arduino card to the computer
-
5️⃣ Transfer the MyoCoach programme to the Arduino card
