How to begin?

Hello, i am new in all of this therefore i dont understand how to install your program, i suppose i have to put the downloaded files in an specific path or install them before run the commands in python...could you explain that to me please.

Hi,
thanks for your interest, I was a bit busy buying christmas presents :)
I have created a package now from the repository :)
Try redownloading the repository, changing to the directory you downloaded the repository to and then running
python setup.py install
from the terminal/console/powershell. (you need python-setuptools for this: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#installation-instructions)

After this, running
python example/read_mindwave_mobile.py
should display the packets if your headset is connected :)

You might need to install PyBlueZ before: https://code.google.com/p/pybluez/wiki/Documentation

Then it depends what you actually want to do, for writing your python program you should be able to include the same way as the example file does when the installation above succeeded :)

Hope this helps you, feel free to ask again, also please write if it worked for you :)
