Where can we find OpenBCI products with 16 channels on eBay or Aliexpress which are free from issues & and have a high number of good ratings?

We do not know of a single user who confirmed this.

Stellarpower

  • Stellarpower got a 16 channel OpenBCI with WIFI to work, but hat issues with packet loss and cyclic noise spiking.

  • This eventually could have been resolved like this:

Which means that Stellarpower was not far from being sucessful.

Experienced developer Jenelson had communication problems between the OpenBCI module and the WIFI shield.

This means two users bought OpenBCI products on eBay or Aliexpress. One had issues with the WIFI shield. The other had communcation problems between the WIFI shield and the OpenBCI modules. These two have different issues with OpenBCI products. This means to buy OpenBCI modules on eBay and Aliexpress is risky, and we do not know of a confirmation of a single user who managed to get such a setup to work. Another possiblity is to buy a 16 channel OpenBCI setup from www.OpenBCI.com, and then the OpenBCI WIFI shield from Aliexpress and repair it:
