python openbci_lsl.py --stream is not finding board #7

When I run

python  openbci_lsl.py --stream

It hangs indefinitely on -------INSTANTIATING BOARD-------. The Python library's user.py script finds the board automatically with no problem. These 2 programs seem related, so I'm not sure why it's not working for LSL for me.

The CSR 4.0 BT Dongle is plugged in and active, but is it perhaps using the builtin BT adapter by mistake?

In case it matters I'm on Ubuntu and I am using a Ganglion board.

OK, so, Jeremy just told me that I'm not supposed to run it this way, but rather as a plugin to user.py in the Python library. I guess that's the problem (?). I'll go ahead and close this.
