Android App(s)

So I've tried to get the Android App from the openBCI github  running, but it wouldn't find the device. I'm not sure if I'd have to install custom firmware on the board or where to get it (this thread suggests that I'd have to).

When I tried to connecting to the dongle with a modified version of the Arduino Communicator, I could connect to the device and receive *something*, but even after setting the baud rate and other configurations I didn't receive data properly.

I am now using the official FTDI driver (which I'd rather not use) and I can receive data in my app. I'll post sources on github shortly. 

Is anyone else working on an android app and willing to share their experience?

    Hi Florian,

    I'm planning on getting my OpenBCI to work with Android as well. I've written a rather simplistic Android Neurofeedback program for the Mindwave Mobile called WaveTuner and I'd like to extend that/reimplement it for the OpenBCI.
    Let's keep in sync in this thread here. I've also applied for the community page so we can post helpful stuff over there.

    Best

    Hi,

    Yeah, we don't have the BLE stack implemented in the firmware we shipped. Check here


    for more information on the BLE issues.
