C driver for OpenBCI boards.
This is very immature. More work has occured in the nodejs driver. See https://github.com/OpenBCI/OpenBCI_NodeJS
This library is not maintained by OpenBCI, but everyone is welcome to work on it in any capacity. Just send a pull request and we'll merge it. Try not to break anything! :)
If building from git, automake and autoconf are required to create the configure script.
./autogen.sh
Then:
./configure
make
./test
In order to communicate with the board, you currently must echo directly to the board. For example...
echo -n 'b' > /dev/ttyUSB0 to start streaming
echo -n 's' > /dev/ttyUSB0 to stop streaming
Any other character can be sent, however only certain characters will do things to the board. Check out http://docs.openbci.com/software/01-OpenBCI_SDK for more info.
##To-Do
- Redefine the packet structure to be more user friendly, including string data and names for accelerometer data
- Clean up streaming code to be simpler and more flexible
- Provide all functions of board
- Enumerate functions here
- Fix Address Boundary Error
- Error handling (what is meant here?)
- Implement tests
- Implementations with: Python, Labstreaminglayer, Matlab, Java/Processing
##Known Bugs
- Stock board does not reset properly on start and may occasionally begin streaming in a corrupt manner. Library does not detect this.
