Description

The Muscle BioAmp Candy is a surface-mount version of the popular Biscute module, engineered for precise electromyography (EMG) signal capture. It utilizes a high-performance instrumentation amplifier and a dedicated bandpass filter to isolate and amplify the microvolt-level electrical activity produced by muscle contractions, providing a clean, conditioned analog output ready for ADC conversion.

Designed for robustness and ease of use, the module features a standard 3-electrode connection system (positive, negative, reference) and is fully open-source, with hardware and software documentation available for custom application development. Its wide supply voltage compatibility ensures stable operation across a broad spectrum of microcontroller and single-board computer platforms.

Key Features

  • Single-channel EMG biopotential acquisition module
  • Optimized 72-720 Hz bandpass filter removes DC offset and high-frequency noise
  • Compatible with any ADC-equipped platform (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard, etc.)
  • Open-source hardware and firmware for complete customization
  • Includes dedicated BioAmp cable and gel electrodes for immediate prototyping
  • Durable SMD construction suitable for integration into final wearable designs
  • High-value build focused on research-grade signal integrity at an accessible cost

Applications

  • Prosthetic control system development and myoelectric interface research
  • Muscle fatigue analysis and sports science biomechanics monitoring
  • Gesture recognition for advanced human-computer interaction (HCI) and VR/AR systems
  • Medical rehabilitation device prototyping and therapeutic biofeedback tools
  • Educational demonstrations of electrophysiology and neural/muscular signal processing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the Muscle BioAmp Candy?

The module operates from a wide DC input range of 3.3V to 30V. This allows it to be powered directly from common microcontroller boards like the Arduino (5V), Raspberry Pi Pico (3.3V), or from a separate regulated bench supply for standalone ADC systems.

How do I connect the BioAmp Candy to my Arduino or other microcontroller?

Connect the module's VCC and GND pins to your board's power and ground. The OUTPUT pin connects to an analog input (ADC) pin. Crucially, you must also connect the board's GND to the module's GND to establish a common reference. Always use the provided BioAmp cable or ensure correct pin mapping to avoid damage.

What type of signals does this sensor measure, and what filter does it have?

The Candy is designed specifically for Electromyography (EMG), measuring the electrical potentials generated by muscle fibers. It includes a fixed 72-720 Hz bandpass filter, which is optimal for EMG, as it removes low-frequency drift (like skin potential) and attenuates high-frequency noise from power lines or electronics.

What is included in the package for getting started?

The kit includes the Muscle BioAmp Candy module, a 50cm BioAmp Cable v3 for electrode connections, a pack of 3 Jumper wires for power/ADC hookup, 3 Boxy gel electrodes for skin contact, and a Muscle BioAmp Band for securing the electrodes. A development board (like Arduino) is not included.

Package Includes

  • 1 x Muscle BioAmp Candy Module
  • 1 x BioAmp Cable v3 (50cm)
  • 1 x Jumper Cables (Pack of 3)
  • 3 x Boxy Gel Electrodes
  • 1 x Muscle BioAmp Band
