This is an advanced model with Arduino and Node MCU, and a variant of the IoT Based Patient Health Monitoring System using ESP32 Web Server from How to Electronics, which has already found it s place in the scientific literature.

  • But as so often as we have espirienced before.
  • either the MQTT or LSL interface is missing
  • or the MQTT interface is there, and also the paper, but the code is missing

there are some execptions, for instance:

  • There are some expeptions that we are currently trying to track down. For instance How to Electronics is an expierienced publisher of how to videos. There are solution which a promising path, for instance this one with streaming to Thingspeak:
  • From Thingspeak it is possible to stream to HA, and from there to InfluxDB, an option which is worth trying.
  • or for instance the OpenBCI WIFI shield as warned here:

«IMPORTANT NOTE: This product is in beta mode. The WiFi shield is known to have reliability issues (packet loss and cyclical noise spikes) when used with Cyton and CytonDaisy boards. Using it effectively requires advanced technical skills and programming knowledge. Please proceed at your own risk. OpenBCI cannot guarantee that the device will work with your configuration.»

  • OpenBCI documentations are generally of high quality. Not all manufacturers give these kind of warnings to their users, which is very helpful.
  • The WIFI shield has realiablity issues:
  • these are well documented, and it also documented how to solve them
  • We did not yet decide to choose either LSL or MQTT
