README

README.md

These designs are for a low-cost biosensing board for measuring signals such as EMG, EEG, or ECG.

The board is designed to plug into an Adafruit Feather M4 Express and send the collected signals back to a computer over USB.

Disclaimer: Connecting electrical circuitry to your body can be dangerous. I do not make any guarantees to the safety of this design. Before building, you should conduct your own analysis of safety.

Questions

How big is the Emg v2 PCB?

It measures 91.4 × 43.2 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Emg v2 use?

52 parts, built around the ADS131M08IPBS. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Emg v2 KiCad files?

From the dgaddy/biosensing_circuit_board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad_files/emg_v2.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Emg v2 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
