Design of a Wireless EMG

Presented at The Next HOPE (2010), July 16, 2010, 5 p.m. (60 minutes).

This talk is a summary of all the steps taken in designing a wireless EMG. Such a device is capable of using the faint electrical signals that muscles give off when used in controlling other systems. Konstantin’s current design is a combination of power supply circuitry to run off a lithium-ion battery, a nRF24l01+ chip for wireless capability, a PIC 18F4550 as the brains of the device, and an amplification board to amplify EMG signals. This presentation will show how each of these elements come together to create a wireless EMG. The talk will cover the sections of design, manufacture, testing, coding, and future work.

  • Konstantin Avdashchenko
    Konstantin Avdashchenko received his B.S. in electrical engineering from Union College while minoring in nanotechnology. He has always loved to build everything he could, since only then could he call it "his own."
