This project paper exhibits the use of Electromyography (EMG) sensor to capture a person’s muscle activity and send the acquired electrical signal via Bluetooth device. Electromyography sensor can be used in various ways for different systems, such as those that require an alternative controller in replacement of a regular mouse or Analog joystick. This project was focused primarily on the design and development of a wearable armband using Electromyography sensor and its associated software that utilizes the captured data and converts it into a recognizable hand gestures. The wearable armband is able to exchange data wirelessly over short distances using Bluetooth technology. This project used a microcontroller unit to convert the Analog signals produced by the skeletal muscle activity into digital signals and interprets it for further processing. The developed utility software then receives the gathered digital data and provide an equivalent graphical representations based on different hand gestures. The prototype can fit an average human’s arm size and can detect more than 3 hand gestures. The materials required for the project includes: Electromyography sensor, Bluetooth module for wireless transmission, microcontroller, and rechargeable battery.
Keywords:
