Woot! Woot!
Old engineers can learn new tricks.
A while ago I attended an event from Backyard Brains at All Hands Active. Links if interested:

Backyard brains introduced a new product, an Aruduino shield which detects EMG signals on muscles.

I collected some data by doing two different arm movements. Visually, I could see the difference in the data, but I couldn’t get reliable results with my old signal processing methods. So tonight, I applied a machine learning neural network technique I just learned from a Coursera class.

And it works. Well even. I can get a scheme to detect different motions automatically.
So... that is what I’m doing on New Year’s Eve.
