This Mind Flex project is a re-imagining of a similar design LINK  Where a Mind Flex EEG device has been modified to output and log brain functions via a serial connection to a laptop. The laptop is running on battery power alone as you should have no current plugged in while connected to an EEG.

This altered design has similar concepts though this version is a little different as there is no tether with an Arduino,  rather information is being transferred via a serial to Bluetooth adapter.  The Arduino was removed to reduce some of the bulk and increase battery life on the laptop. Serial to BT

The adapter is powered by the Mindflex power supply and also the serial line. when the Mindflex is turned on the Bluetooth is turned on simultaneously outputting information from the subject’s brain to the computer for logging.

Also a self designed software library was created for this project and runs in the background for logging data. lib

When at The Next HOPE I bought The Brian Machine electronic kit for $20.  It’s a product I have heard lots about and really wanted one.  I figured I would spend the money and actually make it myself rather than buying a pre-made one.

The kit went together fairly easily once I figured out how to do it with a little help from other Makers Local 256 members.  It took me a couple of hours to complete the project.  I had a ton of fun making it and think I’m going to make more kits.

Six of us went to HOPE this year. What a time we had. Very little sleep, lots of socializing, and even some hacking. Nathan made me bring our Wifi Geiger Counter to work on and show off. This turned into more of a hacking project than a fixing project. This years conference badge features an MSP430 and a Nordic nRF24L01+ radio. They could communicate with each other and a tracking network. After realizing the badges could be aware of other badges I came up with a plan! Now the Geiger Counter detects other HOPE badges!
