Dear developers,
this project is a beautiful idea, thanks for starting it off! Some time ago I had seen an OpenEEG module at work and from that got the (obvious) idea that it would be neat to have an Open EMG as well - and voilà there it is already, don't even have to do it myself ;)
I'm working on myoprosthetic control myself. It is the topic of my PhD thesis supervised by Prof. Michael Herrmann in Edinburgh and Prof. Dario Farina in Göttingen (Germany) and I would love to build your EMG board to be able to play around with it at home.
So far I have downloaded the source files and checked all the resources I have found, but it is a little hard to figure out where to start off. There are several ... well, undocumented files...
In principle I would like to contribute to the project, perhaps not so much with the electronics, that is not my expertise, but by providing data analysis tools written in Matlab or Python for instance.
While building the board I could also create a small document, on the wiki or so, that describes how to build a board, perhaps in the fashion of the Open EEG documentation.
What do you think? I guess there is still some activity in this project, isn't there?
However, could you tell me please as to whether it is reasonable to start at 'stage 10' in the emg_dsp folder with the intent to build? Or is it the newest but also least tested version and thus not a good idea? Or...?
Perhaps some colleagues of mine will join me in this and thus your project might get even more collaborators.
And finally another question: I'm a big proponent of open source and creative common projects and I bought an Arduino to play with. You probably know that this microprocessor is very easily programmed and also has many additional modules already developed. Yet this is a very, very premature idea, but I still want to ask it: would it be possible and/or reasonable to have your board interact with an Arduino? Or even have an Arduino instead of the microprocessor you are using (that is probably to much of an effort, I fear). For instance, WiFI communication with a PC wouldn't be a problem then, I guess. And also the interaction with many other devices, perhaps that could add in a somewhat ad hoc manner the features you have listed.
Best wishes,
David
