Micro:bit EMG (electromyography) and Prosthetics, Part 2 Programming the EMG
by Mandy Fierro
Part 2 (this lesson) is students learning how the body sends electrical signals through the muscles (if not covered Part 1’s research) by coding a Micro:bit to read the electrical currents (electromyography) and collecting data. Students will determine where to attach a prosthetic arm using the data generated.
