After several unsuccessful attempts to work on Western's Wifi for a home automation project I decided to play around with the Myo. I immediately knew I wanted to demo something using this device. I found it's gesture control very cool and wanted to use what little time I had left making something to play around with this.
I came up with the Myo Music Maker. It lets you use the gestures on the Myo to play several notes from a piezoelectric buzzer attached to an arduino. This demonstrates the kind of hardware interfaces that can be achieved on the Myo. Myo Music Maker serves as a proof of concept for hardware solutions that implement a myo. It is easy to see how a device like this could evolve into powerful solutions, such as a sign language dictator for deaf/mute people.
The Myo connects to the Bluetooth in a laptop. This then transmits gesture data over USB to an arduino which reacts to that data accordingly. This is done using an open source library for arduino that helps interface Myo.
