BLE and OpenBCI

Mike · January 2015

Hi,

I'd like to access OpenBCI without using the virtual port. So, I was wondering if there is a way to make OpenBCI to work with BLE dongle other than the one shipped with OpenBCI and to access it like any other BLE device?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike, on this page,

It's stated that the BLE feature is not yet coded in the firmware. I'm not sure how much effort this requires, Joel @biomurph might comment here. As I understand it, the current firmware is using the Bluetooth in the Nordic / Gazelle mode. Found this doc on the BLE mode,

Hi William

Sorry for missing that document... Actually, I thought there exist some code that I might be missing that already does that.

Thanks for the information.

There's more in the docs now regarding BLE

There are some limitations, but it's wide open for anyone who wants to dive in.
