Hello everyone! Last week, we reopened uMyo sales - it's back in stock with a new version, v3!
It's actually been available since April 5, but we were so busy with our workload we kept postponing to write the posts. So, a week later, here it is at our Tindie store - run, do not walk, and get your uMyo today!
Just joking - but definitely do go check it out :)
We made some changes in the new version, including a new board shape, a separate charger board and a CR2032 battery holder so you can start working with uMyo even if you don't have a lipo battery. There are also hardware changes with the components, some new firmware functions, and general improvements.
Changelog for v3:
- changed board design for more dense placement and easier connection of multiple units, it's now smaller - 28*47*7 mm vs 32*49*7 mm for previous version (2.1)
- added on-board compass in addition to IMU in v2.1. Orientation tracking now has no drift!
- moved on-board charger to a separate charging board (included in kits), reducing uMyo size and weight
- changed chip to nRF52832 instead of nRF52810 (due to chips availability)
- added CR2032 operation mode with LED turned off to minimize power consumption, single battery can provide ~3 hours of operation for one uMyo
Our team will have some more updates for you in the coming months, so keep an eye out and stay safe, everyone!
