New user, Introduction plus 20-something Questions (Ganglion)
Hi all,
Let me introduce real quick: Lidia, from the Netherlands,
almost 40 years and interested in all things. My dad made ECG
biofeedback device in the 80's with his collegue at Philips, and always
told interesting stories about it. Sitting at the couch twee weeks ago,
talking about meditation and how to measure that, we came back to
biofeedback. Fast forward a few hours of surfing google and I had bought
the ganglion, plus goldcups, paste and a BLE dongle. It arrived
yesterday, and all works as expected.
of course, the openBCI
software is nice and all, and the focus widget is nice. But the real fun
lies in making your own widgets. My question is how to get the data
that the openBCI GUI uses to visualise stuff.
now, back off a
moment. I have some programming skills (hanging on by my fingernails and
some education 20 years ago in turbo and Matlab). Husband is good with
PHP and all kinds of languages and willing to help. I see guides (or
musings) about LSL and matlab and couplings with Brainbay and the like.
Have not enough skills to do that, or not yet anyway.
What I
want, is to make a widget, similar to the focus widget integrated in the
GUI. I don't want to use the 19bit system thing and do all FFT
calculations myself, as the software already does that. I want to use
the values that is used by the openBCI GUI, and work with THAT, real
time. Must be possible, since the GUI also uses that data to display
graphs and the focus widget.
Actual question: can you adapt the
GUI to make your own widgets? I can use the focus widget to use the UP
or SPACE key, and could use that as input for a mini game of my own. But
I want to alter the uV limits, cutoffs and other things Jason did in
that widget. Some basic python is available, and willing to learn more.
But first need to know if I can access the data that is there in the GUI
real time.
God, I hope I am being clear. Definitely not a programmer, so please be patient

When loading up a demo like alpha training for instance, the connection is immediately lost, and cannot be established again through insert element > source > biosignal > OpenBCI Ganglion. The popup does not come up where I can connect the ganglion to BrainBay
