Sun's Around, Muscles Abound!
Unleash the power of WIRELESS electromyography and, almost paradoxically, we also have new flexible USB cables, extenders, and XRP connectors!
This week, SparkFun ignites exciting possibilities with a set of new product releases! Whether you're delving into the world of biomechanics, seeking superior cable solutions, or need to extend your control over projects from afar, we've got you covered. Unleash the power of muscle control with the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor Wireless Kit, update your existing cable game with two new flexible USB cables, add a little control with the USB extender cable featuring a built-in power switch, and get your XRP Kit connected just a little bit easier than before! Dive deeper into these new arrivals and explore the endless possibilities they bring to your next project!
The MyoWare® 2.0 Muscle Sensor Wireless Kit is an Arduino-compatible, all-in-one electromyography (EMG) sensor kit that provides you with all you need from the MyoWare 2.0 ecosystem to test out wireless configurations for your application. The MyoWare® 2.0 Wireless Shield is designed to take in readings from the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor and wirelessly transmit sensor data with the included ESP32-WROOM! This shield also includes a built-in LiPo battery to power the muscle sensor and the ESP32 module remotely. The Wireless Shield is equipped with snap connectors and low-profile pogo pins on the board, so you can easily stack it on the top side of the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor. Simply select a Power Source and flip the power switch to the ON position to give the sensor all the power it needs to work its myoelectric magic.
This is a jumper adapter cable that comes pre-terminated with a 6-pin JST-SH connector on one end and a breadboard hookup pigtail on the other. This cable was designed to allow users to easily breakout the pins from the motor connectors on the XRP control board!
Upgrade your connections with these durable USB-A to USB-C or Micro-B 2.0 cables! These 1-meter (3.2-foot) cables each boast a flexible silicone coating for easy management and tangle resistance. Perfect for connecting your devices with convenience.
There are plenty of USB power switch cables out there. But all they do is switch power. Switch cables that also transfer data are very difficult to find, especially USB-C ones. We designed this cable to fill that gap. Not only does it switch VBUS power, the USB 2.0 D+ / D- pins, the two Configuration Channel (CC1 & CC2) pins and the shield are connected too. The TPE sleeve is soft and durable. This makes it a powerful cable!
That's it for this week. As always, we can't wait to see what you make! Shoot us a tweet @sparkfun, or let us know on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn. Please be safe out there, be kind to one another! We'll be back with more new products next week so make sure to check back then. Happy hacking!
