It’s arrived! It’s arrived! My OpenBCI Kickstarter award has arrived! And now, the guilty pleasure of unpacking a new piece of tech…
Sure, Joel and Conor did send me an early unit for me to test for them, but yesterday I received my actual purchased unit. For their Kickstarter back in January, I choose the “OpenBCI Board — Early Bird Special”. Based on their description, I thought that I’d get just the OpenBCI board. It turns out that I got quite a bit more!
As you can see in center of the picture above, I got the OpenBCI board (8-bit version) as well as the USB Bluetooth dongle. That was expected. Looping around the outside are all the extra pieces that I didn’t expect. Starting from the left side of the picture, I got: a 4xAA battery holder, an OpenBCI sticker and sew-on patch, an OpenBCI T-Shirt, a set of electrode adapters, and two little bags of solderable female headers (for expanding the functionality of the OpenBCI board and of the dongle). That’s some good stuff!
Thanks, OpenBCI!
