MYOSA Sensorboards are the part of MYOSA Plug-n-Play concept, which on simply connecting to the MYOSA Motherboard will start reading the inputs from the Sensorboard and display it on the OLED. This relieves you from all the toil of connecting jumper wires, writing the code to get the readings, setting it up and all the mess. The readings will also be immediately displayed on the MYOSA Mobile App in the form of graphs if it is connected with the MYOSA Motherboard. You can also connect sensors and inputs which aren’t a part of MYOSA Kit simply like you connect it to other boards in the market.

Sensors in MYOSA

MYOSA Motherboard
The firmware, that is the code of the entire MYOSA system has been made open source. The code is completely modifiable and customizable as per your own project’s requirements! Other then the sensor/actuator blocks provided in the kit, the required additional components can also be attached to the digital I/O pins of the motherboard and, the firmware can be changed accordingly. Tweak the code as you like and create tons of sensor applications!

RGB, Gesture and Luminosity Sensor

The APDS-9960 device features advanced Gesture detection, Proximity detection, Digital Ambient Light Sense (ALS) and Color Sense (RGBC).

IEEE SC Image
Gesture sensor:

Gesture detection utilizes four directional photodiodes to sense reflected IR energy (sourced by the integrated LED) to convert physical motion information (i.e. velocity, direction and distance) to a digital information. The architecture of the gesture engine features automatic activation (based on Proximity engine results), ambient light subtraction, cross-talk cancelation, dual 8-bit data converters, power saving inter-conversion delay, 32-dataset FIFO, and interrupt driven I2C communication. The gesture engine accommodates a wide range of mobile device gesturing requirements: simple UP-DOWN-RIGHT-LEFT gestures or more complex gestures can be accurately sensed. Power consumption and noise are minimized with adjustable IR LED timing.

Output: Gesture in Up, Down, Left, Right, Far, Near, None

Features and technical specifications:
  • Four separate diodes sensitive to different directions
  • Ambient light rejection
  • Offset compensation
  • Programmable driver for IR LED current
  • 32 dataset storage FIFO
  • Interrupt driven I2C communication
  • Data Rates up to 400 kHz
  • Dedicated Interrupt Pin

RGB Sensor:

The Color and ALS detection feature provides red, green, blue and clear light intensity data. Each of the R, G, B, C channels have a UV and IR blocking filter and a dedicated data converter producing16-bit data simultaneously. This architecture allows applications to accurately measure ambient light and sense color which enables devices to calculate color temperature and control display backlight.

Output: RGB value in the range of 0 to 1023

Features and technical specifications:
  • UV and IR blocking filters
  • Programmable gain and integration time
  • Very high sensitivity
  • Ideally suited for operation behind dark glass
  • Data Rates up to 400 kHz
  • Dedicated Interrupt Pin

Temperature and Humidity sensor
Temperature sensor senses and measures temperature, i.e. amount of heat energy generated by an object or a system. It allows us to detect any change in temperature.
Humidity is the amount of water present in air. The humidity sensor measures humidity of the given system. It is different from the moisture sensor. Moisture sensor measures amount of water in any solid or liquid and hence is used to measure moisture present in soil, etc. and not in air.

Accelerometer and Gyroscope
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. Accelerometers can measure acceleration (static as well as dynamic). An accelerometer is capable of measuring acceleration on one, two, or three axes, depending on its type.
Gyroscopes are devices that sense angular velocity. Angular velocity is the change in rotational angle per unit of time. Thus gyroscopes can sense rotational motion and change in orientation of an object.

Air Quality Sensor
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compound) are compounds that have a very low boiling point and easily get exposed to the atmosphere at room temperature. They are mostly pollutants or materials which cause irritation to nose and eyes. For example – paint, aerosols, smoke, air fresheners, disinfectants, pesticides and the like. The air quality sensor measures the presence of such elements in indoor areas.
It also measures “CO2 equivalent” present in the atmosphere (and not the actual CO2). Equivalent CO2 means the change in level or concentration of CO2 present in the atmosphere and not the concentration of CO2 itself. It is used in HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems like AC, Refrigerator, etc. to measure the rise in the level of CO2 or room occupancy by people.
