I'm doing my FYP on BCI with IOT but at the moment I want to connect the ganglion board to the Raspberry pi and read the ganglion data on Raspberry pi.
I need help in hardware connection, how to link the ganglion board on the Raspberry pi
The Ganglion dongle will plug into the usb host port on Raspberry. It is then recommended to use Brainflow to read your data. I don't believe OpenBCI supports running the GUI directly on Raspberry yet. But it may be possible, but likely slower than normal speed you see on a laptop.
@KhaledThe current BrainFlow library only supports the latest BLED112 dongle for Ganglion.
BrainFlow also supports the Ganglion+WiFi shield, but the WiFi shield is no longer in stock at official store for reasons related to Cyton+WiFi.
The old CSR dongle had many problems and extra steps to make it work, and has not been used for some time now. I believe this was deprecated even in the previous NodeJS drivers that were used in the Hub (also deprecated).
It is worth trying to build BrainFlow on the Raspberry PI and trying a "get data" example using Ganglion + BLED112. I expect Ganglion + WiFi to work.
I'm using CSR4.0 cable matters 4.0 but I can not detect the ganglion nether on my laptop(OpenBCI GUI) or in Raspberry pi
, so any suggestions on how to solve this ? even when I tried with MacBook pro2020 it doesn't appear,

Khaled, hi.
There is a Google Advanced Search button in the upper right column. Example output:

can I used the CSR 4.0 Bluetooth instead?

Should I order it from OpenBCI store or Amazon can? I mean any BLED112 will work or there is something special for ganglion? Appreciate your help
Any BLED112 should work fine.

Khaled, hi.
As stated previously, you MUST use the BLED112 dongle. The CSR dongle is NO LONGER supported. Neither GUI nor Brainflow will talk to the CSR dongle.
There may be a distributor for the BLED112 in Malaysia. Otherwise you can order from our Shop.
