MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport)not availableThe WIFI shield has MQTT support, but we do not know of any users who confirm that MQTT works, or confirm that they use OpenBCI with MQTT over the WIFI shieldnot available

(*1) The WIFI shield OpenBCI GUI connection works, but the old WIFI shield has issues & is since about two years not available from OpenBCI. There is a new denoised & power improved version available on Aliexpress.

(*2) We do not know why the cable version is not recommended by OpenBCI. If it is the only reason that it is not save for humans to connect OpenBCI to a PC which is connected to high voltage, and we can take the risk to be harmed by a laptop which is disconnected from high voltage and which is purely battery powered, whe can connect OpenBCI through a cable version to a purely battery powered laptop. Do it on your own risk.
