I'm unclear if the Pi version of Brainflow library 'requires' the full running Debian / Raspian / Raspberry Pi OS. See the AI response and links below. There is a Slack channel for Brainflow questions

2) If I have to communicate via Brainflow library, do I need a USB host device? Can I run Brainflow on a bare-metal Raspberry Pi Pico and stream raw data to my board this way? If so how?

Have you considered using a Raspberry Pi, such as models 4 or 5, which have USB host ports that the dongle can plug into? The Brainflow library is designed to interface via the dongle.

A number of projects pair the Cyton dongle with a Raspberry Pi, which supports the dongle. You might be able to use one of those as a jumping off point.

I'm recording on a Raspberry Pi 5, from the dongle.

You may have to build / compile the library on your Jetson platform. Similar to what is done for Raspberry Pi. It is known that the Pi version works. If you have further questions, join the Slack foru

Thank you! You have been extremely helpful, and this seems extremely useful. I'm glad you can run MindAffect's software on Raspberry Pi since I'd like to somehow use ROS along with this software if th

Arduino boards are underpowered for DSP digital signal processing. You would be better off with something like a Raspberry Pi, then you can plug the dongle directly into the Pi.

So, you say it would be easier to use Raspberry pi to access Brainflow Library rather than simply writing a code and including these python library to send data to cloud?

William: I agree about Raspberry being superior to Arduino as an interface device here. In fact, most commercial portable cloud-based-EEG devices use a device running tablet Android or equivalent, so

In terms of Ahmedh's framing of the original question, I see zero value added by involving the Arduino or ESP32. Other than it may be lower power draw than a Raspberry based microcontoller. Raspberry

you want a portable computer, consider using a Raspberry Pi, which supports Brainflow, Bluetooth, and Wifi. For example the Pi 4 has usb ports if you need to plug in the Ganglion dongle.

I can have access to Raspberry: 4B and Zero W during the weekend, so I'll try that. Hopefully it could be a helpful starting point. Even though that failed attempt by Andrey is not very optimistic.

I've tried on raspberry if I remember correctly and there was raspbian which is debian based so I suppose ubuntu should work, but it was some time ago

You need to use the Raspberry Pi, because it has the USB host ports to plug the dongle into. It also will support Brainflow.

I believe that to use Brainflow on Raspberry, it is recommended to build the library from source code, ON the Raspberry, to get full Pi compatibility. The pre-built library may not run on the Pi.

I'm working on a project to read EEG and ECG signal and transferring this data collected to cloud. I don't want to use the Open-BCI GUI so I want to extract and process the data with brain wave librar
