Board disconnecting all the time...

Wesh

Hi,

I just bought a ganglion board, for artistic purpose.

I just tested it yesterday, and i have a big issue. The board work, i have data in the GUY, and the board connects with BLE propely. But each time, after 30sec-5mn, the board disconnects from itself, the led starts blinking, and i have to restart the software each time...

I tried many things, such as moving the board just next to the bluetooth receiver, or this kind of stuff... I wanted maybe to update the board, but the version seems okay : ( Firmware Revision String 1.1.0 and Software revision string 1.1.2)

Other thing that is strange too, when i configure the data source in the GUI, I have to select "BDF+" instead of "OpenBCI" because if i do so, it will freeze when i click "START SYSTEM"...

I'm a little bit lost, and this problem is really ennoying. I hope that it is a knowned issue for you, and that you have the solution...

Sincerely yours,

J-d

That is a very annoying problem! What operating system are you running? Which GUI version? Have you considered updating your firmware to the latest?

This also sounds like a possible battery issue, in regards to the disconnecting.

I'm pretty sure this is not a normal problem so something is up!

Yes this is a very annoying problem indeed !

I'm using a mac mini mid-2011 on Sierra, the latest GUI, i wanted to updating the firmware but it seems very complicated, and when i checked the firmwire connecting the board to my iphone, it said that that the Firmware Revision String 1.1.0 and Software revision string 1.1.2 so i think (but not sure) that it's the last version right?

Thanks for your awnser
