/dev/ttyUSB0 is not instiated with Ganglion over Ubuntu

raziebe · March 2018

I am using Ubuntu64 bit and I am trying to use OpenBCI_C. It appears that the code assume that the gangileon instantiates /dev/ttyUSB0 as if it is hardwire connected.
My Gangileon is connect via bluetooth so the interface is hci0.

How can use these libraries if at all ?

Raziebe, hi.

Did you read the tutorials? Ganglion does NOT use a serial port; it is Bluetooth Low Energy. (Cyton DOES use a serial port.)

http://docs.openbci.com/Tutorials/02-Ganglion_Getting Started_Guide

http://docs.openbci.com/OpenBCI Software/01-OpenBCI_GUI

If you have an application that wants to consume the raw data from the Ganglion, see,

http://docs.openbci.com/OpenBCI Software/07-OpenBCI_Hub

There are also Python, Matlab, OpenViBE, BioEra, BrainBay, etc. ways to consume a Ganglion stream.

The OpenBCI GUI app can output a LabStreamingLayer (LSL) stream. Which can then be consumed by various LSL library functions:
