Use Python to acquire data from Thalmic Labs' Myo and save it to HDF5.

In order to get the accelerometer to sample at 200Hz I had to downgrade to firmware version 0.8.18. Just follow the instructions.

Run this to set the device permissions for the USB dongle on GNU/Linux systems:

$ sudo usermod -aG dialout $USER

• NumPy
• h5py

$ pip install numpy h5py

I used dzhu's myo-raw to get data from the sensor, just changed the IMU's sampling rate and included his code.

Just run capture/capture.py and press ^C to stop.

It might be a good idea to install HDFView and the command line utils to work with HDF5 files.

$ sudo apt-get install hdf5-tools hdfview

Check the example in read/read.py to work with this format from python.
