Use of Macrotellect brainlink lite / Neurosky device impossible?

Open fenglong2000 opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Hi, I am trying to use a Brainlink lite, which should be compatible to Neurosky devices with a bluetooth dongle. Now, everything works with openvibe, for example, my device gets connected. With Neuromore on windows I get the following when looking in tools/Information/Bluetooth "IsConnected=false". Neuromore and Linux does not even find bluetooth devices.

Furthermore I can't find any way to activate Neurosky devices in Neuromore running on linux (Kubuntu 18.04) . I tried to change the config.h, but still, no Neurosky.

Any idea to help me out?

Hello @fenglong2000

sorry for the late reply. Please refer to our devices Wiki page, specifically the section for the NeuroSky MindWave Mobile. We do support this device, but only through using the vendor's proprietary SDK/libraries which will deal with any aspect of the device communication (e.g. bluetooth link/datastream) for us. We do not talk Bluetooth with the device directly. AFAIK the SDK is only availabe on Windows (supported) and on OSX (untested/WIP) - no Linux. Can't say anything about the Macrotellect Brainlink Lite.

Hello @cyberjunk thank you for your reply :-) Now, I have never worked with Visual Studio... Does anybody around here can give me some clues what to do with Visual Studio?

What do you mean exactly? Are you trying to create a version that supports the NeuroSky MindWave Mobile?

For that simply:

  1. Follow the instructions for that device on the linked devices page to integrate their proprietary SDK
  2. Then follow the VS build instructions on main page to create an according executable

We're sorry for the trouble, but we don't have permissions to add a lot of the proprietary SDK contents to our repository or distribute binary packages including them. We tried to simplify the process as much as possible, but in the end you always have to copy these things on your own and build Studio yourself (due to copyright...)
