Summary of BIOAMP EXG PILL – ANALOG FRONT-END AMPLIFICATION FOR ECG, EMG, EOG, AND EEG BIOSENSING
BioAmp EXG Pill is a compact 5 V-compatible analog front end (AFE) for acquiring high-quality biopotential signals (ECG, EMG, EOG, EEG) without dedicated hardware or software filters. Its small form factor, strong noise rejection near AC mains, and use of any 1.5 mm wire for electrode cables make it ideal for mobile, space-constrained, and cost-sensitive projects, supporting research and hobbyist applications like heart monitoring, prosthetic control, real-time game controllers, and EEG-based LED control.
Parts used in the BioAmp EXG Pill:
- BioAmp EXG Pill AFE board
- 5 V Micro Controller Unit (MCU) with ADC
- Header pins (berg strip) for breadboard use (optional)
- Custom PCB for soldering via castellated holes (optional)
- 1.5 mm diameter wire for electrode cables
BioAmp EXG Pill is a small, powerful Analog Front End (AFE) biopotential signal acquisition board that can be paired with any 5 V Micro Controller Unit (MCU) with an ADC. It is capable of recording publication-quality biopotential signals like ECG, EMG, EOG, and EEG, without the inclusion of any dedicated hardware or software filters.
It’s small size allows easy integration into mobile and space-constrained projects, and it’s powerful noise rejection makes it usable even when the device is close to the AC mains supply. Any 1.5 mm diameter wire can be used as a strain-relieving electrode cable, making BioAmp EXG Pill very cost-effective in comparison to other options.
What Can It Be Used For?
BioAmp EXG Pill is a one-stop solution for researchers, tinkerers, and hobbyists who are looking for novel biopotential amplification. Thus, it can be used for a wide variety of interesting biosensing projects:
