MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor

Using our muscles to control things is how most of us are accustomed to doing it. We push buttons, pull levers, move joysticks... but what if we could take the buttons, levers, and joysticks out of the equation and control it with our muscles?

VIN1
Input Voltage (VIN), primary pin 1 in the MyoWare v2 advanced guide; powers the sensor.
Type · powerVoltage · +2.27V minimum, typically +3.3V to +5V, +5.47V maximum
GND2
Ground (GND), primary pin 2 in the MyoWare v2 advanced guide.
Type · groundVoltage · 0V reference
ENV3
Envelope (ENV) output, primary pin 3; Adafruit states the sensor outputs a 0-VIN signal representing muscle flex and the guide labels this as EMG envelope output.
Type · signalVoltage · Output signal range 0-VIN volts, where VIN is the power-source voltage
RECT4
Rectified (RECT) output, optional pin 4 in the MyoWare v2 advanced guide.

Air quality

Choose between MQ gas sensors, VOC/eCO2 indoor-air sensors, true CO2 modules and particulate sensors without treating every air-quality breakout as the same detector.

Temp and humidity

DHT11, DHT22/AM2302, and DHT20/AHT20 sensors solve the same broad job, but only some are acceptable substitutes in the same circuit.

Light and colour

Photoresistors and color sensors both respond to light, but they expose very different signals and are not sensible drop-in substitutes.
