Getting To Know Myo
Myo's Physical Characteristics
The following image illustrates the main components of Myo Alpha:
Myo is designed to be "wear and play", requiring minimal physical interaction. The eight segments
of
expandable casing
house Myo's components and are connected using stretchable material that
allows them to expand and contract relative to each other, so that Myo can comfortably fit each
user's unique physiology. The
electrical sensors
measure electrical signals traveling across the
user's arm, which Myo translates into poses and gestures.
The
USB charging port
allows you to charge Myo's internal battery using a USB power adapter or a
conventional USB port on a computer.
Myo Alpha provides two additional features. The
status LED
lights up in green when Myo is ready to
be connected to a device. Once Myo is connected, it lights up in blue instead. The
pinhole reset
button
can be used to reset Myo in case of a device malfunction.
