Hi Nick,

 

The code seems logical and fine. Can you use the inquiry command to check
what the channel contents are for the data packet being sent by the Shimmer
unit, it might give a clue as to what might be going on.

*And by correctly i mean it sends 6 bytes of emg data which seems wrong
since it should be 2 bytes.

Hi Jong,

 

This is the C++ code that ive been using. It works for acc/gyr/mag. Now i am
testing it on emg:

 

    char arg0 = SET_SENSORS_COMMAND;
    char arg1 = (acc << 7)+(gyr << 6)+(mag << 5)
+(ecg << 4)+(emg << 3)+(gsr << 2)
+(ex7 << 1)+(ex0 << 0);
    char arg2 = 0;
 
    socket->write(&arg0,1);
    socket->write(&arg1,1);
    socket->write(&arg2,1);
 
 
 

 

For the EMG Shimmer Mote when i have all sensors off except the emg (acc
disabled) I get the situation in my previous email with a packet size of 9
bytes including header and timestamp.

 

I do receive an ack from the shimmer mote after sending the command. When i
request to start the collection of data the data comes correctly at the
frequency i specify.

 

Much Thanks,

 

Nick

Hi Nicholas,

 

Could you explain a little more about what you mean by 'sent the signal to
enable the acc'? As an example using java (assuming you are using the
standard serial protocol), the transmitted packet should look something like


 

write(new byte[]{0x08, 0x08, 0x00}); 

 

If you refer to
http://tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tinyos/tinyos-2.x-contrib/shimmer/a
pps/BoilerPlate/Shimmer.h?content-type=text%2Fplain , you will see that the
first 0x08 is the packet type: Set_Sensors_Command and the second 0x08 is
SENSOR_EMG. 

 

Were you able to receive an Ack packet after sending the set sensor command
packet?

 

Regards,

JC

In addition the data doesnt seem to change with stimulus from the muscle.

So i currently have acc/gyr/mag working and was adding emg support to my C++
program. I sent the signal to enable the acc/emg (bit3 = 1 ). I then receive
9 bytes from the shimmer = 1 header, 2 timestamp, 6 data.

 

My question is why does the emg have 6 bytes of data? The accelerometer has
x,y,z so 6 bytes makes sense but the emg is just one signal?

 

Thanks,

 

Nick
