Description

BioAmp EXG Pill is a small and elegant Analog Front End (AFE) board for BioPotential signal acquisition.

README

BioAmp EXG Pill is a small (2.54 X 1.00 cm) and elegant Analog Front End (AFE) board for BioPotential signal acquisition that you can use with any 5v Micro Controller Unit (MCU) with an ADC. It is capable of recording publication grade BioPotential signals like ECG, EMG, EOG, and EEG without the inclusion of any dedicated Hardware/Software filter, see BioAmp EXG Pill v0.7 intro video for more info. The v1.0 of BioAmp EXG pill provides even more flexibilty with configuration option for Gain, BandPass, Filter, and Electrodes.
