After A LOT of testing, I figured out the issue was a bad LiPo battery. Whew!

I am currently using a 2000mAh LiPo battery and getting a battery life of just about ~24 hours with recording to SD card.

Thank you for the reply. I'm trying to make the most compact package, squeezing the battery near the cyton board in a 3D printed enclosure. One thing I can't find any info online is: does the cyton bo

typically lower power capacity than the AA's or Lipo's. That is measured in mAh, milliamp hours.

Yes, any of the Adafruit LiPo cells can work. The small battery was chosen so that it fits behind the Cyton or Ganglion when mounted inside the Ultracortex headset battery case. If you are not constra

yes it is definitely possible to use ThinkPulse electrodes with Cyton + Wifishield. We have successfully tested that configuration and even Cyton+Daisy+Wifishield (with the pack or a LiPo battery). Ea

Hello! So I have the Ultracortex Mark IV Headset with the Cyton+Daisy board. I still need to acquire a LiPo battery and charger, and have a couple questions that I'm having a hard time clarifying from

I check for polarity on lipo and battery pack and everything is ok with red + and black - !

I bought several Lipo Batteries of two models :

Thanks William! That makes sense - I will get a LiPo cell. I have not fastened the board yet but that sounds like a good plan.

The feet are not needed when the case is used; if they are present, remove them. The small LiPo cell will fit underneath the Cyton board. Are you using small screws to fasten the Cyton to the bottom c

@wjcroft then it always had this failure mode. I observed this with both the batteries I tested it with, one is 4 Duracell plus AA batteries (1.5V) and the other is a 1S Lipo Battery (3.7V, 2.22 WH, 6

* LiPo battery powered, low current ~50ma; battery also provides safety factor, TI kit is not recommended for direct human attachment (see documentation)

I guess wait and try the LiPo battery, which happens to weigh less, and is more appropriate for headwear. Let's see if a different power source makes a difference. If it doesn't, I'd still like to see

500 mAh battery is relatively small as far as Lipo cells go. Note that the Cyton mainboard alone is drawing about 50 ma. So if fully charged and not an old or damaged cell, the battery could power the

when fresh? The next step up from 3.7v for these LiPoly batteries seems to be 7.4v (i guess they just stick two of the 3.7v ones together and call it a day?), but that goes above the 6V max warning o
