Requirements

This software component requires an Open BCI compatible device connected to a COM Port, which sends packet protocol for channel data.

Output Port Description

  • Channel1 to Channel8 [integer]: Each output corresponds to the sampled data from its corresponding channel. A calibration procedure to obtain the factor for calculation of microvolts must be performed with the amplifier device.
  • AccX, AccY, AccZ [integer]: The current values of the 3 axis of the acceleration sensor.

Properties

  • COMPort [String]: The name of the COM port, for example COM2 or COM17.
  • Baudrate [Integer]: The baud rate for the transmission. Standard is 115200.
