Mind-controlled helicopter (actually, it’s a Bluetooth-enabled EEG headset, so you could theoretically control anything you choose…they just bundle it with a crash-resistant (for obvious reasons) IR helicopter.
http://store.neurosky.com/products/mindset was one of the pages I looked at, although looking at the other MindWave devices there might be a serial stream that has data where the A2DP was just for the voice/audio… and then, yes, you could grab that data back to a Gadgeteer device, assuming the data was able to be parsed (is there an SDK or API documented; I haven’t looked).
The fact that it has BT on the headset doesn’t mean anything if they don’t present the “data” over the serial stream that the BT portion offers - the only profile the curent BT module offers is Serial, meaning a UART over BT that transfers the data between the sending device (headset) and the consumer (in our case, Gadgeteer).
A quick look on the developer site shows they have arduino’s reading this stuff, so there’s definetely hope for a Gadgeteer connected device. Anyone want to ship me a headset?
I have the bluetooth module connecting to the MindWave Mobile, but I’m not getting any data from it and I’m under the impression from reading the Arduino posting for the Mindwave that it basically pukes data by the bucket. So its possible that I’ve missed something or that the existing Bluetooth module isn’t up to the task, I’m hoping for the former, any suggestions?
Well some measure of success, I have my MindWave Mobile connecting to the bluetooth module and I have data, but I’m not overly thrilled by the quality of the data (or how the buckets of puke are delivered). Still more work to do, but at least some progress.
