ALMEIDA M, Javier Andrés; RODRIGUEZ Q, Mayra Alejandra  and  RUBIANO L, Juan Sebastián. PSoC-based embedded system for the acquisition of EMG signals with Android mobile device display. Tecciencia [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.18, pp.14-19. ISSN 1909-3667.  https://doi.org/10.18180/tecciencia.2015.18.3.

In this study, we present the development of an embedded system for the acquisition and processing of Surface Electromyography (EMGs) signals, using Cypress Semiconductor's PS0C technology. With this technology, we achieved a decrease in resource consumption during implementation and in the usage of passive components that are usually part of the filtering, conditioning and acquisition stage, thus allowing for the development of a lightweight portable device. We also developed an application for the Android operating system, where EMG signals sent by Bluetooth can be displayed on a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet.

Keywords : Android; Bluetooth; mobile device; EMGs; PSoC; embedded system.
