Has anyone had success with this sensor http://www.advancertechnologies.com/p/muscle-sensor-v3.html . After setting everything up I am only getting what appears to be noise when it is attached to the arm. My arduino is outputting around 330~340 from the analog pin regardless of the motions of the arm with the sensors. Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you have it wired as shown in the user manual?  With two 9V batteries for power and two wires to the Arduino?

What are you using for electrodes?

Yes it is wired as shown and i am using the cables and pads that came with the kit... I tested the battery with a multimeter and it is delivering the right voltage to the sensor. I don't know where to go from here

If you followed all the directions correctly and aren't getting useful results you should probably contact the vendor about getting a replacement.

I will contact them, but if anyone has faced a similar problem or got them working fine I would still like to talk about the sensor.

Have you monitored the output signal of the sensor board with a multimeter?

Maybe you are just getting noise.

Does it drop to zero if you short the electrodes?

Have you tried running everything off of batteries w/o a connection to a PC?

There was a connection that was not fully secured. So now it is working but I would still love to talk to someone working with the sensor find out what they are doing.

Thanks all
