EMG_ArmBand

To create an EMG (Electromyography) Arm Band, which may be worn as a bracelet, to detect hand movements and orientation via muscle impulses transmitted through your forearm. One will be designing PCBs based on EMG sensors, integrating them with microcontrollers, and subsequently train the system using Machine Learning (ML).
