EMG Detector Learn-To-Solder Kit

This novel low-cost, low-power learn-to-solder kit was inspired by an Ingenuity Festival performance project created by CWRU graduate students Daniel Tan and Nathan Makowski.

Undergraduate student Dan Dichek collaborated with Daniel and Nathan to transform the concept into a "Learn to Solder" kit used for K-12 outreach. The device measures the electric signals generated by human muscles and displays them on an LED bar graph.

Bird Technologies of Solon, OH contributed to and manufactured the final product. Several prototypes were made with the think[box] PCB router.
