## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10273:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10273:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Build simple flex detection into your project without complex biomedical kinematics or computer vision. This analogue module senses whether an arm or muscle is flexing based on electrical signals moving under the adhesive pads, then delivers a varying voltage you can read with an analog input. Check out our in-depth guide for more details on how to use this module in your projects! The pads allow for around 2-5 uses before becoming dirty, we stock [a 10-pack of replacements.](https://core-electronics.com.au/biomedical-sensor-pad-10-pack.html)

### Technical Specifications

- A split supply is required to power the module - both positive and negative supplies 
    - A symmetric 3-12V power input
    - Uses very little power ~1mA
- The output voltage depends on the input
 
Note: the pad connection wires are very susceptible to noise, a high EMI environment will impact the modules performance.

To reduce noise we would recommend using [a USB Isolator](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-isolator-computer-protection.html).
