1 year ago it was a bit late yesterday, and i did not spend as much effort preparing the post as i should have.
first i found that the brainbay forum https://brainbay.iphpbb3.com/ is not accessable from thailand (i thought it was down, thats why i did not look there first). so i will search there first now (i use a vpn now to access it).
also i started brainbay with the --debug option:
commandline:--debug initialising Brainflow object ... Brainflow: Board created.

if there are any other ways to help troubleshoot, please let me know. i would really like to fix the problem. my programming skills are not that cracked up to be (especially c++), but i can compile things if it helps.
as i said, i find this project pretty amazing. the node style scripting makes it a breeze to create my own designs without programming.. thats awsome. hope i can get it to work with my device. thanks for all the hard work!

system: win11 (all updates), python 3.11 (brainflow 5.8.2), brainbay 2.7
testing if the device will connect to my laptop: starting the default connection example (first one on https://brainflow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/Examples.html ) with (i have a muse s = board id is 39): python brainflow-connection-test.py --board-id 39 the device will be found, connected to, and some data will be recorded.
doing the same in brainbay (choosing the muse s, not the muse s BLED because i do not have the dongle) will return 'failed to prepare session 17' (instandly, no scanning done, just some error).
i tried the same today on win10 (before reformating in installing win 11) and got the same error (it would also connect through pure python-brainflow).
is it possible to use brainbay/muse without the BLED bluetooth dongle? could there be any other problems?
thank you for, writing this program. it seems amazing, i cant wait to try it out :-)
