Title: SHIELD-EKG-EMG with Mac?
Post by: Timo2 on May 31, 2015, 05:16:50 PM
Hi!
I just bought a SHIELD-EKG-EMG and some diffrent electrodes. I can upload the provided sketch with arduino but didn't find a way to watch the sensor results. Electric Guru and Brainbay only seem to work with windows is there any alternative for Mac OSX?
Thanks for any suggestions!

1) As far as I am aware, there is currently no software available for OSX to view output.
2) If you are a programmer, you could always try writing your own.
3) Alternatively, place a 2.8" TFT LCD shield on top of the Olimex shield and view output in real-time.  I used the Adafruit shield, but there are others available which could also be used, provided you have the drivers.  I prefer the older version 1 shield ( which Adafruit no longer carries), but version 2 should also work (although, it doesn't appear to me to be as fast as v1).

This short video shows how to do it:
