Run the code and have fun using your arm as a keyboard.
Using the MyoKeyboard
The MyoType has 7 distinct controls.
A left movement shifts left on the morse code binary tree.
A right movement shift right on the morse code binary tree.
An upward movement acts as a backspace button.
A single downward movement chooses the current character as the written character.
A double downward movement creates a space and starts a new word.
A twist of the arm increases and decreases the speed of typing depending on the it is a clockward or counter-clockward twist respectively.
