Hi!

You might know the Myo armband, that amazing gesture controller whose 
SDK is not supported for GNU/Linux...

You also might be aware that, thanks to the great work of David Zhu, it 
is possible to access to the raw EMG (electromyography) data, as well as 
to the IMU (orientation/acceleration) data, with no SDK, running a 
python script.

Upon that, I have just prepared a small ready-to-go python script, which 
sends EMG and (now more accurate) IMU data through OSC. With it, it's 
now possible to easily integrate Myo in your Linux audio workflow, with 
no need for extra coding or for using a non-linux myo-dedicated extra 
device.
I hope you might find it useful.

Here it is --> https://github.com/andresperezlopez/myo-raw

Best,

a.
