pysio-pyemg-cometa 0.0.2

A pythonic wrapper library for Cometa sEMG Waveplus devices

Python Binding for Cometa WavePlus Mini Wave and Pico sEMG devices

Python SDK to interface the Cometa WavePlus commercial Mini Wave or Pico sEMG sensors via the OEM C# shared libraries for realtime streaming acquisition.

[!NOTE] Cometa WavePlus is a system of up to 16 wearable sEMG sensors, and a receiver base station connected to a Windows PC, with a practical range of ~20 meters. Lost packets are filled by the base station with repeated most recently received values. Ensure the person stays in range or the base station is moved around for this device.

[!NOTE] While it says that Cometa has a Python integration, it's a community driven package. You can access a work-in-progress Python binding, pyemg-cometa, to the C# OEM DLLs that powers this package and is suitable for out-of-the-box realtime streaming acquisition.

Installation

The package interfaces identically the Mini Wave and the Pico sensors, whichever are on and connected to the Cometa WavePlus base station.

Install WavePlus drivers (EmgMDrivers and EmgMUsbDrivers) for Windows after registering on the Cometa website.

[!NOTE] The latest distributed sEMG drivers marked for Windows 8.1 are compatible with Windows 10/11 and have been validated. The distributed USB drivers marked for Windows 10 are also compatible Windows 11.

From PyPI

pip install pysio-pyemg-cometa

From source

git clone https://github.com/maximyudayev/pyemg-cometa.git
pip install -e pyemg-cometa

Usage

Verify in EMG Motion Tools Windows desktop application that sensors are attached, impedance is checked, and the qulity of the signal is good. Close the application.

[!IMPORTANT] Only 1 connection to the base station can be done at a time, either EMG Motion Tools app, or HERMES. Else the device won't connect.
