MindWave Mobile not connecting
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Hi there! Trying to get version 0.93 working with a MindWave Mobile device on Mac OSX 10.6.8. I might be messing up what I was supposed to edit in the settings.xml file, but I changed the 'device' from COM5 to 'MindWaveMobile-DevA', which is the name that shows up in my Bluetooth Preferences->Edit Serial Ports menu. The device name is 'MindWave Mobile' which I also tried.
When I click 'edit serial ports' in my BT prefs:
The Device Service is Dev A, which I have the option to change to Wireless iAP
Protocol is RS-232
Name is MindWaveMobile-DevA
Require pairing is unchecked
Path is /dev/tty.MindWaveMobile-DevA
Thanks!!
Hey @amlal,
I actually haven't tested with a Mindwave Mobile before, but it should be compatible. Can you make the device value the full path. eg. '/dev/tty.MindWaveMobile-DevA'? If this doesn't work, then can you download 0.81 and let me know if that works, this uses the stream protocol instead of the osx driver (https://github.com/trentbrooks/BrainWaveOSC/releases/download/v0.81/brainwaveosc_osx_0.81.zip)?
Hi Trent,
Great, changing it to the full name worked!
While I have you, I'm confused about the ranges and numbers you're using
for the EEG delta, alpha, etc. While attention and meditation seem fixed
/100 and raw is -2048->2048, these other values are massive and are out of
fluctuating end ranges (if that makes sense). What's the best way to deal
with these numbers?
Thanks!

hey @trentbrooks just wondering if you have any info about the range of values received for EEGpower based on my previous comment. Thanks!
Hey Amar, sorry for late reply. Yes attention, meditation, and raw are the only values with a fixed range.
The 8 eeg power bands don't have a maximum value. Apparently (http://support.neurosky.com/kb/development-2/eeg-band-power-values-units-amplitudes-and-meaning) they are 'only meaningful compared to each other and to themselves'. In the graphs for Brainwave osc i'm just keeping a running highest score for each band and a global highest score, and use that as the max.
Hope that helps.
Thank you!
