Use daisy schematic and arduino uno?

Pete254 · October 2015

I would like to use something like openBCI to control a rc car, this is for a college project. As you can imagine I don´t have too much money. So buying the complete board is out of question. So I wonder if it´s possible to use the daisy schematic as a general guideline and an arduino uno and get the same functionality. Thank you.

You could probably get something useful with that kind of setup. We do NOT recommend connecting yourself in any way that will allow the possibility of connecting to the wall power. Not just for safety, but would also add tons of unwanted noise to the signal.

Hi Pete,

I guess you can get similar functionality with the ADS1299 Evaluation Platform (http://www.ti.com/tool/ads1299eegfe-pdk) and some sort of microcontroller such as Arduino Uno. I wouldn't recommend using the uno as it is a 5V system and the ADS1299 operates at 3.3V. Perhaps Teensy 3.1 is a better choice. You can find a source code from here:

Let me know if you have other questions, I will be happy to answer you

@Pete254 If four channels would be enough for your project, the new OpenBCI Ganglion is $99 on Kickstarter — about a quarter the price of the original OpenBCI. Also, it would probably be cheaper to built yourself if you wanted to go that route.

@Pete254: if you make progress with this, could you let us know?

I'm trying to find out how much of what's on the board at present could be moved onto a smartphone, dropping the price of the board. (I'm wondering if the Google Cardboard trick of using what we already have could work in BCI as well.)

Thanks,

Colin

The OpenBCI Ganglion will use BLE, and have the ability to communicate with computers, phones, and tablets.
