## Announcements

> [Oct 15, 2018] Thalmic Labs have announced the discontinuation of the Myo
> armband. Software that used to be accessible on the Thalmic downloads page
> can be found on the GitHub [releases](https://github.com/NiklasRosenstein/myo-python/releases) page.

> [Jun 28, 2018] Myo-Python 1.0 has been released. It comes with a number of
> API changes. If you have been following an older tutorial, you might have
> the new version installed but use code that worked with the old version.  
> Check the [Migrating from v0.2.x](#migrating-from-v02x) section below.

### Documentation

The documentation can currently be found in the `docs/` directory in the
[GitHub Repository](https://github.com/NiklasRosenstein/myo-python).

### Example

Myo-Python mirrors the usage of the Myo C++ SDK in many ways as it also
requires you to implement a `DeviceListener` that will then be invoked for
any events received from a Myo device.

```python
import myo

class Listener(myo.DeviceListener):
  def on_paired(self, event):
    print("Hello, {}!".format(event.device_name))
    event.device.vibrate(myo.VibrationType.short)
  def on_unpaired(self, event):
    return False  # Stop the hub
  def on_orientation(self, event):
    orientation = event.orientation
    acceleration = event.acceleration
    gyroscope = event.gyroscope
    # ... do something with that

if __name__ == '__main__':
  myo.init(sdk_path='./myo-sdk-win-0.9.0/')
  hub = myo.Hub()
  listener = Listener()
  while hub.run(listener.on_event, 500):
    pass
```

As an alternative to implementing a custom device listener, you can instead
use the `myo.ApiDeviceListener` class which allows you to read the most recent
state of one or multiple Myo devices.

```python
import myo
import time

def main():
  myo.init(sdk_path='./myo-sdk-win-0.9.0/')
  hub = myo.Hub()
  listener = myo.ApiDeviceListener()
  with hub.run_in_background(listener.on_event):
    print("Waiting for a Myo to connect ...")
    device = listener.wait_for_single_device(2)
    if not device:
      print("No Myo connected after 2 seconds.")
      return
    print("Hello, Myo! Requesting RSSI ...")
    device.request_rssi()
    while hub.running and device.connected and not device.rssi:
      print("Waiting for RRSI...")
      time.sleep(0.001)
    print("RSSI:", device.rssi)
    print("Goodbye, Myo!")
```

### Migrating from v0.2.x

The v0.2.x series of the Myo-Python library used `ctypes` and has a little
bit different API. The most important changes are:

* The `Hub` object no longer needs to be shut down explicitly
* The `DeviceListener` method names changed to match the exact event name
  as specified by the Myo SDK (eg. from `on_pair()` to `on_paired()`)
* `Hub.run()`: The order of arguments is reversed (`handler, duration_ms`
  instead of `duration_ms, handler`)
* `myo.init()`: Provides a few more parameters to control the way `libmyo` is detected.
* `myo.Feed`: Renamed to `myo.ApiDeviceListener`

### Projects using Myo-Python

- [Myo Matlab](https://github.com/yijuilee/myomatlab)

### Changes

#### v1.0.4 (2019-04-29)

- Remove myo.quaternion, it was a leftover and the Quaternion class was actually in myo.types.math
- move myo.types.math and myo.types.macaddr to myo package instead
- myo.types package is now a stub for backwards compatibility
- Depend on `enum34` package instead of `nr.types.enum` which has been removed in `nr.types>=2.0.0`
- Update the error message of a `ValueError` raised in `myo.init()`

#### v1.0.3 (2018-06-28)

- `Event.mac_address` now returns `None` if the event's type is `EventType.emg` (#62)
- `Hub.run()` now accepts `DeviceListener` objects for its *handler* parameter.
  This carries over to `Hub.run_forever()` and `Hub.run_in_background()`.
- Replace requirement `nr>=2.0.10,<3` in favor of `nr.types>=1.0.3`

#### v1.0.2 (2018-06-09)

- Fix `Event.warmup_result` (PR #58 @fribeiro1)

#### v1.0.1 (2018-06-09)

- Fix `Event.rotation_on_arm` (#59)

#### v1.0.0 (2018-06-03)

- Rewrite using CFFI
