Hello,

I recently got this combination. The 3 pin headers have been on back-order for a while so i ordered individual pins and soldered the power, GND, signal, and REM signals (jumpered from the shield to the muscle sensor). I've noticed that the red LED on the muscle sensor sometimes lights up and it looks like it produces a saturated signal. I don't see any reference for this LED in the manual so was wondering what is going on. Also, I'm not seeing any 'good' fluctuations' in the data it produces (flex vs unflex) and i've played with the gain. Any help would be appreciated.
