Is OpenBCI is dead – long live the ADS1115 & single channel sensors & InfluxDB?

Last Updated on December 31, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org

made a literature search for PPG & ADS1115 on Google Scholar:

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=ADS1115+ppg&btnG=

And the result is just astounding. Tons of papers about this topic. So isn t this the future? Just replace the PPG with a TGAM module, and then add 16 channels, to have an affordable OpenBCI alternative? But again, is this question not answered better by for instance final year engineering students from India?

And isn t it better to make you literature search in a university library like this one:

than on Google Scholar? Since if we are looking for PPG & ADS1115, who then wants to find and buy books from Google Inc.? And since Udo Berndt from smartlive.net has shown us how data from the Apple look in InfuxDB & Grafana:

Who wants still to use OpenBCI GUI and want to continue to look for code from BrainFlow to solve his problem, which eventually never will come?
