PiEEG was announced on 2nd Mar 2023 by Ildar Rakhmatulin at Raspberry Pi:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-to-brain-interface/
- But then it started only selling on November 2023 the PiEE 4 channels.
- And PiEE 8 channels was announced to start selling in April 2024:
- And since recently PiEEG is not available anymore:
https://www.crowdsupply.com/hackerbci/pieeg#products
PIEEG 4 channels
- PiEEG board with 4 channels $325
- $8 US Shipping / $18 Worldwide
PiEEG 8 channels
- PiEEG board with 8 channels
- $450 $8 US Shipping / $18 Worldwide
Is no longer available
- Why only selling PiEEG 4 channels about 9 month after it’s development has been finished?
- And why only selling PiEEG channels about 1 year and 3 month after it’s development has been finished?
- Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org supposes that the chief here is a marketing software who decides this.
- Is PiEEG not better than OpenBCI Cyton?
- Does it not cost less, and is it not better?
- Why then release it so late?
- Is the reason to be able to make money out of OpenBCI Cyton as long as possible?
- And all of this calculated by a marketing software?
- After PiEEG started selling in November 2023, Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org wrote on his blog about this issues of PiEEG:
https://petergamma.org/tag/pi-eeg/
- Then suddenly, PiEEG was not available anymore.
But Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org, does not know of any other users who showed interest in PiEEG than him, and wrote about the issues of PiEEG. And then it was not available anymore.
- Peter experienced before, that products he critizised where pullet from the market.
- Peter also thinks, he triggered a tremendous amound of demos of EEG devices and demos of EEG caps:
https://petergamma.org/tag/eeg-cap/
- And Peter knows of no one exept for him, who is interested in buying on the long term EEG devices.
- So if PiEEG has been pulled from the market, will it appear again in an updated version?
Peter found other products for his needs. But Peter continues to observe what will happens to PiEEG in the future, and he is looking forward to see how PiEEG will develop in the future.
