.. note:: In this demonstration we are recording EMG signals from the ulnar nerve, but you can record EMG from other areas as well (biceps, triceps, legs, jaw etc) as per your project requirements. Just make sure to place the IN+, IN- electrodes on the targeted muscle and REF on a bony part.

--------------------------------------

1. Download the `Spike Recorder App <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.backyardbrains&pli=1>`_ from playstore.
2. Open the app, click the setting icon on the top right corner and set the low band pass filter to 72Hz and high band pass filter to 720Hz.
2. Open the app, click the setting icon on the top right corner and set the recording type to EMG.
3. Apply the 50Hz or 60Hz notch filter depending on the country you are living in. For example if you are in India then the AC current oscillates at a frequency of 50Hz but it oscillates at 60Hz frequency in USA. This AC current acts as a noise in the signals so we have to remove it by applying this notch filter.
4. Again click on the setting icon to close it and you are ready.
5. Flex your muscles to be able to visualize the muscle signals (EMG).

Connect VCC to either 5V or 3.3V, GND to GND, and OUT to Analog pin A0 of your Arduino UNO via jumper cables provided by us. If you are connecting OUT to any other analog pin, then you will have to change the INPUT PIN in the arduino sketch accordingly.
Connect `VCC` to either `5V` or `3.3V`, `GND` to `GND`, and `OUT` to `Analog pin A0` of your Arduino UNO via jumper cables provided by us. If you are connecting OUT to any other analog pin, then you will have to change the `INPUT PIN` macro in the example arduino sketch accordingly.

**Note:** For demonstration purposes we are showing connections of the sensor with Arduino UNO R3 but you can use any other development board or a standalone ADC of your choice.
