Romyo, O Romyo! Wherefore art thou yaw control, Romyo? 11/6/2015: Thanks for the response. So it's goofing up even if you getYaw onUnlock? I saw they're releasing updates, not sure what all is new yet. But my hunch is, maybe you need to ditch the MyoSDK and rebase the app on D4rken's MyoLib. Much more comprehensive and exact. I myself am working on a system of unlocks that expand 5 gestures into 25, without even touching pitch, yaw, and roll. So, you can do it! I believe in you!
