Open-Myo

Python module to get data from a Myo armband using a generic Bluetooth LE interface.

Installation and usage

This module works with generic Bluetooth LE antennas (e.g. CSR V4.0, Cambridge Silicon Radio or the Bluetooth interface integrated in the Raspberry Pi 3/Raspberry Pi Zero W). This module does not work with the Bluetooth antenna included with the Myo armband because it uses a propietary protocol from Bluegiga.

This module requires the bluepy Python module to work. To install it, run:

$ sudo pip install bluepy

All code using the bluepy module must run with root permissions. To run the example code, execute:

$ sudo python main.py

The Open Myo module only works on Linux, as the bluepy module is only available for Linux.

Thanks to mamo91 and MyrikLD, since your Dongleless-myo code (here and here) has served as a starting point for this project. Thank you both for sharing your work! :D

Also thanks to IanHarvey for developing the fantastic bluepy module.
