BITalino is a low-cost toolkit that allows anyone from students to professional developers to create projects and applications with physiological sensors.

Out-of-the-box, BITalino already integrates easy-to-use software & hardware blocks with sensors for Electrocardiography (ECG), Electromyography (EMG), Electrodermal Activity (EDA), Accelerometry and Light.

Imagination is the limit... each individual block can be snapped off and combined to prototype anything you want. You can connect other sensors, including your own custom designs.

This video presents an overview of the default sensor blocks included in every BITalino kit.

Note that in the ECG sensor even though the 3-lead accessory is used, it also works with just the 2-lead accessory.

Also, pre-gelled and self-adhesive electrodes were used for practicality in shooting the video, but the sensors work with non-gelled and fabric electrodes as well.

Our team continues hard at work to make BITalino (r)evolution a reality; in this short segment we show you one of our first working versions.

Our revised groundless EMG sensor design only requires 2 electrode leads, while preserving the same best-in-class performance (as shown in the video).

We're now extending our core APIs and OpenSignals software to support BLE, hence the use of our old friend HC-06 Bluetooth module for testing.

The improved cabling is still cooking as well, reason for which we're also using the Molex Sherlock connectors to interface the electrode leads.
