  • If you want to use live data from the headset, follow these instructions instead (it is highly recommended that you use Linux for this!):

    • Open brainwave-prediction-app/client/brainflow1.py

    • Go to the function "read_from_board"

    • Comment out the following lines near the top of the function

      • params = BrainFlowInputParams()
      • board = BoardShim(BoardIds.SYNTHETIC_BOARD.value, params)
      • image

    • Uncomment the following lines near the top of the function

      • params = BrainFlowInputParams()
      • params.serial_port = "/dev/ttyUSB0"
      • board = BoardShim(BoardIds.CYTON_DAISY_BOARD.value, params)

    • Go to the OpenBCI GUI, select "Cyton", select “Serial (from Dongle)”, set the channel count to 16, and press the manual button in the "serial connect" box

    • Choose the serial/com port that the dongle is using and copy the name. It usually looks something like "/dev/ttyUSB0"

    • Replace the existing string in the following line to match the one you copied

      • params.serial_port = "COPIED VALUE GOES HERE"
