FlexVolt Bluetooth

DSC_0383

Technical Specifications:

  • Measurement Channels: 2/4/8
  • Power:
    • 3.7V Li-Ion Battery
    • Life ~ 10 hours
  • Data Transfer:
    • Bluetooth 2.0 EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
    • Range: > 25 ft (7.5 m)
  • Sampling rate: Configurable up to 2kHz
  • Sensor Gain:  1845
  • Signal Measurement: Analog inputs on PIC16F1455/9
  • Detector bitdepth: 10 bits accessible in settings.  8 bits by default.
  • Dynamic Range:  +/- 1 mV  ( (System Voltage/2)/Gain)
    • Dividing by 2 because the system voltage is split for +/- signals
  • Theoretical Max Resolution:
    • 10 bits: ~ 2uV (Dynamic Range / 512 bits)
    • 8 bits:  ~ 8uV (Dynamic Range / 128 bits)
    • Note: Approximate because it varies with battery voltage.
    • Note: Realistically, the bottom two bits of ADCs (analog-to-digital converters) are electrical noise, dropping resolution by a factor of 4.
  • Package:
    • ABS Enclosure
    • Mini USB port for battery charging
    • Slide switch to select charge mode or measurement mode
  • Additional Features:
    • Plug-in detection:  Most models will detect plug-in, at least on channels 1-4

    • 8 bits:  ~ 10.6uV (Dynamic Range / 128 bits)
    • Note: Approximate because it varies with battery voltage.
    • Note: Realistically, the bottom two bits of ADCs (analog-to-digital converters) are electrical noise, dropping resolution by a factor of 4.
  • Package: Stackable Arduino shield
    • Compatibility: Uno, Mega
  • Additional Features:
    • Plug-in detection:  Detects when channels are plugged in/removed.

 

EMG/EKG Electrodes

  • FlexVolt has a working relationship with a local medical electrode company to provide starter packs and re-supply packs for when you run low.
  • The majority of the electrodes out there are wet-gel, adhesive tape. We think the dry-gel electrodes are superior, so we also offer a dry-gel electrode option.
  • Nearly all electrodes are standardized, so your FlexVolt will work with almost any electrode pack you get from us or anywhere else!

 

Original FlexVolt Armband Wearable EMG Prototype:

This was the concept design for a wearable sensor. This version looks huge and ugly because it used breadboards instead of printed circuit boards.  We’ve come so far since the beginning!
  • Indicator lights for effort visualization
  • Adjustable Armband
  • (it’s an old iPod exercise armband)
  • We are developing FlexVolt phone apps that would enable you to take measurements on the go and store them or monitor them on your phone.
