The Neophony Synaps EXG Sensor is a state-of-the-art electronic component designed to measure bio-electrical signals from the human body. This sensor is capable of capturing a wide range of physiological signals, including electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), and electroencephalogram (EEG) data. Common applications of the Synaps EXG Sensor include heart rate monitoring, muscle activity detection, and brain wave analysis, making it an invaluable tool in medical diagnostics, sports science, and biofeedback applications.
Parameter | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Supply Voltage | 3.3V - 5V | Operating voltage range for the sensor. |
Output Signal Type | Analog | The sensor outputs an analog voltage. |
Operating Current | 10mA (typical) | Typical current draw during operation. |
Frequency Response | 0.1Hz - 100Hz | Range of frequencies the sensor can detect. |
Gain | Adjustable | User-configurable gain for signal amplification. |
Pin Number | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | VCC | Power supply input (3.3V - 5V). |
2 | GND | Ground reference for the sensor. |
3 | OUT | Analog output signal from the sensor. |
4 | REF | Reference voltage for the analog output. |
5 | GAIN | Gain control input (analog or digital signal). |
// Define the analog pin connected to the EXG sensor
const int exgPin = A0;
void setup() {
// Initialize serial communication at 9600 baud rate
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// Read the value from the EXG sensor
int exgValue = analogRead(exgPin);
// Convert the analog reading (which goes from 0 - 1023) to a voltage (0 - 5V)
float voltage = exgValue * (5.0 / 1023.0);
// Print the voltage to the Serial Monitor
Serial.println(voltage);
// Delay for a bit to get stable readings
delay(10);
}
Q: Can the Synaps EXG Sensor be used with a 5V system? A: Yes, the sensor is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems.
Q: How can I reduce noise in the signal? A: Use shielded cables, keep the sensor away from noise sources, and ensure a stable power supply.
Q: What should I do if the sensor is not responding? A: Verify the power supply, check all connections, and ensure that the sensor is not damaged.
