MyoWare 2.0 Goes Wireless!

The MyoWare® 2.0 Wireless Shield is designed to take in readings from the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor and wirelessly transmit sensor data with the ESP32-WROOM! This shield also includes a built-in LiPo battery to remotely power the muscle sensor and the ESP32 module. The Wireless Shield is equipped with snap connectors and low-profile pogo pins on the board, so you can easily stack it on the top side of the MyoWare 2.0 Muscle Sensor. Simply select a Power Source and flip the power switch to the ON position to give the sensor all the power it needs to work its myoelectric magic.

Hello Myoelectric Makers! It’s been a while but we haven’t been just idly sitting around, we’ve been busy tinkering away and we're excited to finally announce the new 2.0 product line! The whole ecosystem has been redesigned so setup is a snap... literally. All shields can now snap directly to the 2.0 Muscle Sensor for a quick and solderless connection. The whole ecosystem is now being manufactured and sold by the electronic experts at SparkFun Electronics, Inc. . https://bit.ly/3iSE7BC
