Controlling a CF with your MIND?
Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2014 5:33 pm
For anyone unfamiliar with commercial EEG headsets like the Mindwave Mobile this will sound completely absurd, but alas it is completely doable! This instructable pretty much lays out all the steps necessary- http://www.instructables.com/id/Brain-C ... elicopter/. The instructable was written for a DSM2-based copter using a program called https://synapse.puzzlebox.info which converts brain wave signals into an interface to control things like Lego Mindstorms and Arduino. Puzzlebox also has a newer program called "Orbit" that controls a different helicopter, but the newer one is based on IR signals and less compatible with standard Quad transmitters.
This seems like the kind of project that would be tailor made for the CF since the Crazyradio allows most of the hacking to be done in software. Not only that but the Puzzlebox software is also based on QT and appears to share many of the same components with the CF PC Client!
Has anybody attempted anything like this before? Perhaps we could create an input profile for the Mindwave Headset? Or find a way to merge the Puzzlebox Client into CF PC Client?
Also, it appears that both CF and Mindwave are supported by the Cylon.js platform - http://cylonjs.com/documentation/platforms/. Perhaps it might be even easier to write a new client just in Javascript?
