Abstract

We developed a Microcurrent acupuncture point treatment equipment using micro-controller AVR. This equipment can generate a sine wave, triangle wave, square wave and DC. The frequency range of waves like the sine wave and the triangle wave is 1 - 320 Hz and the output range of DC is $40-200\;{\mu}A$. The duration is controllable between a minute to 30 minutes.

마이크로컨트롤러 AVR를 이용하여 미세전류 경혈치료기를 개발하였다. 이 치료기는 정현파, 삼각파, 구형파, DC를 출력할 수 있다. 정현파, 삼각파 등의 주파수 범위는 1 - 320 Hz이고 DC의 출력 범위는 $40-200\;{\mu}A$이며 출력시간은 1 - 30 분으로 조절가능하다.
