- OpenBCI components in the OpenBCI store are very expensive
- There are several stores on Aliexpress, which sell OpenBCI products.
- But if we have a closer look at those, we can see that some of those are developers
- They make new modifications of OpenBCI components and sell those on Aliexpress
- OpenBCI is according to the OpenBCI shop a:
“High-quality, low-cost, modular EEG hardware with a global open source community. SDKs & Drivers. Affordable EEG, ECG, EMG. Open-source neuroscience. Global Shipping.”
- The documentation of OpenBCI is as far as we know open
- Sellers on Aliexpress seem to have developed new OpenBCI components.
- Do they have Gerber files of OpenBCI components to manufacture these components themselves?
- Let us check if it is possible to get all the components yourselves, so that we can send for instance the Gerber files to a manufacturer in which we can trust to do the job.
- Or let us check if we can find sellers on Aliexpress which make good offers for OpenBCI components, have good ratings, and offer all components we need.
