OPENBCI GUI collects discontinuous data

GUI data collection is experiencing lag and discontinuous data collection. How can we solve this problem? Is it a hardware issue or a GUI problem

    Hi FanFan,

    One of the GUI Widgets measures 'packet loss'. Try running that in one of your panes and watch the counters. One common trick you can use is to put the dongle on a usb extension cord and position it closer to the mainboard. For example, you could drape the dongle over the top of the display monitor.

    Also, nearby wireless or EMF sources can also cause packet loss. Attempt to position your setup away from other noise sources.
