I have been working on a project that involves using human muscle to power up a relay which in turn activates a solenoid that contracts air muscles and flexes a robot arm.
Currently everything is going ok, but I have recently purchased the Olimex EKG/EMG shield for Arduino. I am using the ELEGOO board which is very similar to the R3
I need help with the setup: All I want is for the board to recognise that I am flexing my muscles, and print this in the serial monitor. I have read the instruction manual and searched online for solutions but there is nobody who is showing a step by step guide on this. so far I have been able to supply power to the shield, and get a few readings from it, but they were all false.
