Key mapping #142

Open eanprice opened 6 years ago

eanprice commented 6 years ago

I'm trying to use Dasher with a EMOTIV EPOC+ headset. Unfortunately key mapping is required. For example, W for up and Z for down. It is feature currently available? If not, can it be added to the next release? Thank you everyone for your ongoing support of this incredible project!

Key mapping is possible. You need the button mode options (docs are being worked on right now - this is out of date but might give you a pointer http://dasher-site.netlify.com/en/get-started/manual/part7/). But it may be better if we look at the raw eeg data as an input (eg socket option) for dasher. Our emotiv was DOA so waiting for a new one. When we get it I’ll have a look into what’s needed to get this working for continuous selection.

@eanprice We would happy to work on that but could you explain more what is missing?

I am not familiar with how EMOTIV talks to dasher. Also what platform version of dasher does EMOTIV use? Is it Windows?

eanprice commented 6 years ago

The EMOTIV EPOC+ is a 14 channel wireless EEG. I can train the headset to translate a thought into a key press. For example, thinking of an "upward movement" will type the letter W. Thinking of a "downward movement" will type the letter Z. Thinking of a "right movement" will type the letter S.

In theory, my colleague and I would like to control Dasher with these key commands. Similar to playing a 2D video game with the Up, Down, Left, and Right keys on the keyboard. Our tests have been with Dasher 5 on Windows 10.

Will Wade mentioned the "button mode options" and I hope to begin tests this week. This project is extremely exciting as I have a degenerative neuromuscular disorder.

Thank you again for your support!
