If you are seeing packet loss with the native bluetooth, that is a clear red flag. One common strategy with the dongle is to put it on a usb extension cord to get it up off the table or bench you are

that now that you are telling us that the native bluetooth should work fine I guess the probability of the board being the problem is higher. Until now we were discovering the GUI features and just w

The 'native Bluetooth' should normally work fine. But it's possible there could be issues with your specific model of Mac and macOS. State these on your customer support request.

be the problem is that we are using the native bluetooth option because we don't have the BLE dongle that is mentioned in the official page, could it be that the native bluetooth connection with the

Is the led on the Cyton supposed to turn on independently from the connection to the Bluetooth dongle?

Have you initiated a ticket with customer support (contact at openbci.com) ? What computer are you using, model, manufacturer, operating system, etc.? Using built-in Bluetooth or the dongle? Have you

It sounds likely that your old Bluetooth board was 'lucky' in not inducing significant noise. Wifi wireless EMF amplitudes can be much higher than Bluetooth. You might check your Wifi chip settings fo

I do not recommend using a microcontoller such as ESP32 / Arduino IDE, because that will not support the Python libraries I previously linked to, nor Brainflow. If you want a portable computer, consid

That is correct. This assumes your Ganglion has the Bluetooth radio connection to your computer. Either via the dongle, or native Bluetooth in the computer.

The OpenBCI boards have a limited bandwidth connection via a Bluetooth radio channel. Thus you cannot pipe more external data such as camera or facial recognition streams along with the EEG data, for

* Is it wireless EEG thru Bluetooth connection? coz I’m looking for using it with some degree of user movements. and what is an operation range that we should NOT be far between headset and Macbook?

... leaving native Bluetooth LE scan on does not result in any noise added to the signal received through the dongle.

You're right. I'll will only try to connect and record a couple of seconds worth of signal from Ganglion without GUI on headless Zero if 4B were to fail (whether any of the Raspberries' Bluetooth chip

Please don't take it personally. I never suggested it is OpenBCI who should be responsible for making GUI work with Bluetooth chips under different OSes. You are a great company and project, doing gre

I'd still very much like to know how to properly use the (functional) Bluetooth chip (it is Intel AX211 in my G5 MFs but I doubt that the solution is that device-specific) with OpenBCI Ganglion on Lin

That is the first thing I would try, because as you guess, the Bluetooth support is very different in Windows vs Linux, and this dongle re-routes that Bluetooth traffic so that it looks like a plain u
