dl-myo 0.2.0

A replacement middleware to MyoConnect for Myo Armband

dl-myo (Dongle-less Myo)

dl-myo is a replacement to MyoConnect for Myo Armband without an official Myo dongle.

If you are fed up with the dongle and still need to use Myo anyway this is the right stuff to grab.

This project is a reimplementation of Dongleless-myo (originally created by @mamo91 and enhanced by @MyrikLD) using Bleak instead of bluepy, and therefore supports asyncio on multiple platforms.

The GATT service naming convention reflects the official BLE specification for Myo (i.e., myohw.h); however, some services and characteristics differ for a uniform naming.

See myo/handle.py for more detail.

Install

pip install dl-myo

Example

The script scans a Myo device, connect, set LED colors, vibrates, collect EMG/IMU data for a moment, and then read the avaialable services/characteristics from the device.

Any Myo Armband should have the service UUID d5060001-a904-deb9-4748-2c7f4a124842.
