Myo doesnt come with a lot of instruction, but it really doesnt need it. You start by downloading the device software and then connecting the device via a USB cable to your computer. Theres also a small USB Bluetooth dongle that youll have to leave plugged into your computer. Even though Myo is a Bluetooth 4.0 device, it cant talk directly to your computers built in Bluetooth radio.
Once Myo is fully charged and setup, you wont have to plug in again until you need another charge. One charge lasts a couple of days. There’s no physical on-off switch on the device, but you can turn it off through the utility app.
Myo works by sensing changes in the muscles in your forearm. This means you have to learn some specific moves to use it to control applications and devices.The device software installs a little utility manager that offers constant Myo status updates just above the Windows Task Tray. It can show you what gesture it thinks youre making (waving, fist clenching, tapping, spreading your fingers wide), when youve successfully synced and if Myo is warmed up.
Its best use ,as of now ,is for controlling presentations.
