Newish to this stuff #5

Closed ghost closed 10 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

I am new to Arduino coding. For a project we are doing for science fair we are trying to take the information from the mind flex head set and use it to control an RC car. As of now we are trying to get the Meditation or Attention levels to make the car go forward because they are easiest to control. We need to some way take the levels of one of those levels and use them to control the servos of the RC car.

Any help or ideas would be great. Thank you for reading this and any help.

I didn't have much luck with the Att/Med values (like a lot of others), but after applying some smoothing via a quick C# program that reads from the arduino I was able to distinguish between blinking, eye rolling and eyebrow raising. It's not quite mind control, but it's far more reliable and responds faster. Here's a vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozls-4utw14

Hope that helps. P.s. Be sure to use an optocoupler/optical isolator; besides the added protection, it really cleared up the signal for me.

By chance would you be able to help us write an Arduino code to control this RC car? we are having issues taking the information from the head set and sending it to the car.

we just need it to go forward when the med levels are higher then normal

Hi @gagegage926, sorry for the radio silence. I think I understand from other channels that you had success with your project? Glad to hear it if so. Take care.
