  • Ask an engineer and read a good paper about the quality of these components.
  • Be careful, if you ask an engineer in the OpenBCI forum about it, who wants you to sell OpenBCI modules, ask an independent engineer as well.
  • Be careful, if you ask an engineer in the EEVBLOG, who want to sell you Texas Instruments chips, ask an independent engineer as well.

  • We made a similar comparison a view years ago in the OpenBCI forum. The costs for individual components tropped, but not those sold by William Croft from OpenBCI.
  • New OpenBCI modules are available at Aliexpress, but can t we let manufactuer themselves, and is it not the better?
