Myo Alpha Get To Know

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 casinghouse 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.
