Chords is an open-source toolkit developed by Upside Down Labs to transform Arduino-compatible boards into bio-potential data acquisition devices when paired with BioAmp hardware.
Note
You have to flash Arduino code to your hardware from the list below to use these tools.
Important
Make sure to select your board type in the firmware file for it to work properly.
Tip
Only use genuine board to avoid noisy (unusable) signals and connection issues.
