Okay, here’s my blog post about my experience with “myotte”, written in a casual, personal style, and using basic HTML tags for formatting:
So, I stumbled upon this thing called “myotte” the other day, and I was like, “What the heck is that?” I’m always up for trying new stuff, especially if it sounds kinda quirky. I’m no expert but just sharing my findings as allways!
Getting Started
First, I googled it. I mean, that’s what you do, right? Found some basic info, some confusing diagrams, and a whole lot of nothing, really. It seemed like some kind of a framework, not sure.
Then did install it. I found an instruction, that you have to get myo-python by this:
pip install myo-python
And I ran * downloaded some files, I was just hoping it wouldn’t mess up my system.
Messing Around
After it was all set up, I started to play around with it. I’m a hands-on learner, so I just dive in and see what breaks. I opened up some example files, started tweaking things, commenting out lines, adding my own little bits of code here and there.
- First, I tried the basic “hello world” equivalent, I think is the * file. Changed some parameters, saw how it reacted.
- Then I tried to connect to a device with a serial port, using the *() function.
- I created a basic listener class to handle events. It was a bit tricky.
The “Aha!” Moment
Honestly, there wasn’t a single “aha!” moment. It was more like a series of small “huh, that’s kinda neat” moments. I finally start to managed to get some basic data flowing, displayed some real-time graphs, and even got a crude control system working after a lot of trial and error.
Final Thoughts
It’s definitely a niche thing. Not something everyone needs, but for those who do, it could be pretty powerful. My overall impression? It was a fun little experiment. It was frustrating at times, sure, but also rewarding when I finally got something to work. Would I use it in a major project? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the project. But I’m glad I took the time to check it out.
I learned a bit, messed up a bit, and had some fun along the way. Isn’t that what tinkering is all about?
