Running The Bundled Apps
The best way to start exploring Myo is by running the apps bundled with the SDK. You can find all
bundled Myo apps in the
bin/
directory of the SDK.
Apps can only be run when the Myo has previously been trained on the system.
Installing The Bluetooth Dongle Driver
If you are using Windows, you may need to install a driver for the Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy dongle
provided with Myo. On many computers, the drivers will install automatically when you first plug in
the dongle. If they do not, you can manually install the driver bundled with the SDK in
the
drivers/BluetoothDongle/
directory. Follow the instructions in the vendor-provided
README to perform the installation.
One way to verify that the Bluetooth dongle drivers are installed is to open Device Manager and
check that the dongle appears under the "Ports (COM & LPT)" device group. Make sure the
Bluetooth dongle is plugged in before you check the device manager.
On Mac OS X, no additional drivers need to be installed.
Training Myo
The first app you will want to run is the Myo Trainer. The trainer allows you to demonstrate each
pose supported by the SDK to Myo so that it can recognize them later on.
