Abstract
The development of low-cost commercial hardware that allows developing prototypes and undertake research in several topics has greatly increase in the last few years. An example of this is the study of electromyographic signals using low-cost microcontrollers and acquisition cards. In this work we present the possibility of acquiring and processing surface electromyography using a low-cost hardware such as Arduino and the e-Health platform. To that end, an ON/OFF myoelectric control system has been implemented to classify hand movement pairs such as opening/closing and flexion/extension. The system has been evaluated in the unidimensional and bidimensional control of a cursor and the accuracy has been measured using the Fitt's Law. The results obtained show that it is possible to control up to two degrees of freedom in a reliable way although the technical limitations of the low-cost hardware compared to high-level commercial acquisition systems.
