The Myro software will only run on Windows 7 or earlier versions.

• The instructions provided here are based on the steps described here.
• Download the Myro zip file from here and save it.
• Extract all of the files from the zip file and put them into a new folder on your desktop as follows:
  • Create a new folder on your desktop.
  • Right click on the zip file you saved, click Open, and select and copy the “Myro Install Files” folder.
  • Paste the “Myro Install Files” folder into the new folder you created on your desktop.
  • Close the window showing you your zip file.
• Install Myro:
  • If it's not open already, open the new folder you created by double clicking on it, or right clicking on it and then selecting Open.
  • Confirm that you are looking at your new folder (and not at your zip file. The rest of the steps won't work if you try to do things from within the zip file, rather than with the copy you made).
  • Open the Myro Install Files folder in the folder you extracted the files to by double clicking on it, or right clicking on it and then selecting Open.
  • PROCEED VERY CAREFULLY. MESSING UP THIS NEXT STEP WILL CAUSE YOU GRIEF!!!!!!!!
  • Right Click on the install.bat file and select run as administrator.
  • Be prepared to click on next and finish a lot.
    • Some background: while most people think of Myro as a single program, there are in fact multiple programs that will get installed after you click on install.bat. So the system will regularly claim to be finished when in fact it's just finished one part of the install. Just keep hitting next and finish.
  • Always choose Python2.4 if given a choice.
  • If you already have Python2.4 installed, choose the Repair option.
  • Always take the recommended defaults (so, for example, let it choose where to put all the files!)
  • Never select Remove.
• Eventually you'll be left with a black DOS type window on your screen with the instructions to Press any key to continue, so press a key to get rid of it.
• Plug the Bluetooth USB dongle into your computer.
• Pair it with the Bluetooth on the fluke (on the robot):
  • Go to Control Panel > Hardware And Sound > Add a Bluetooth device.
  • Choose the device that begins with IPRE.
  • Hit next and enter the device pairing code 1234.
  • You also need the port number which you can find by right clicking on the Bluetooth device and clicking on services.
  • It should display the port number that is being used (for example com6).
• Connect to the robot:
  • On your windows desktop, locate the Start Python icon and double click on it (if you don't have this on your desktop, then python might be installed somewhere else, you will need to find it and start it).
  • Type the following in the python window:

       >>> from myro import *
       >>> init()

• It will popup a window where you'll have to enter your port number (from our example com6).
• Click OK. You should now see a notice that says a bluetooth device is trying to connect.
• Allow it to connect and enter the pairing code 1234 again.
• The robot is now connected to computer and you can start working!
