Hello,
First, I want to build a EMG recognition pattern recognition system for hand muscles. I will use 2 or 3 sets of electrodes ( for bipolar ) or just one common refference and 2 or 3 other electrodes. I will also use a MSP430 to gather the data and interpret it so i can use a Neural network .
I know these questions might have been already asked but i couldn't find a straight answer for some things so here I go :
1. Can I somehow get thru the J1 imput with just some wires from my EMG electrodes ? I know the - is common to WCT terminal but i was thinking i could just bind all RA, LA , LL toghether on one electrode so that WCT = RA+LA+LL /3 = RA or LA or LL ( this will be the refference electrode ) and the other 2 electrodes will be placed on the muscles and go intro Ch1 and Ch2 on the J1 . Is this possible ?
2. The alternative would be to go directly on the pins from the J26-J33. Should i use a EMD protection circuit before the electrodes or should i just plug my electrodes into the jumpers ? Of course this setting would be bipolar, hence 1. of my questions would be partially invalid.
3. I can't seem to figure out if i can use the RL pin to get some of the noise down. Should i use a refference electrode and just plug it in ...where... ? Also can't really understand the settings needed in the labview program
4. Is there anyway i can get the data out thru SPI to a MSP430 ? but in real time not in the weird mode the system works now ( aquiring 1000 samples let's say and the loading them etc )
5. One more issue I am having is installing the ADS1298RECGFE-PDK onto a windows 8.1 machine. Any workarounds for the MMB0 motherboard driver ?
Thank you
