Hi!

That would be great, I've been thinking about it for a long time but could not find a shop to buy neurosky device for testing.

We have a nice guide how to add new boards - https://brainflow.org/2022-11-01-adding-new-boards/

For neurosky I am not sure which options to pick, they have their own SDK for C/C++ afaik and it can be used for integration and also probably its possible to write everything by ourselves. I have not checked yet how good their SDK is and how difficult the manual imlementation would be, probably it should be the 1st step here. And even more important which license their SDK uses

Also idk how they distribute their sdk, is it a source code or binaries, etc. If they share .so and .dll files then need to be careful with linking, we use dll_loader and do not link 3rd party SDKs with brainflow(, here is an example https://github.com/brainflow-dev/brainflow/blob/master/src/board_controller/gtec/unicorn_board.cpp#L69
