3 very experienced developers worked on these issues, and Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org reviews those here.
Issues with the OpenBCI WIFI shield
- alwayswearshats reported in May 2019 about in the www.openbci.com forum how to resolve those.
Issues with the lack of documentation with this issue
- Stellarpower from Scottland reported about Cyton + Wifi, Packet Loss / Noise Issues on
January 2023 in the www.openbci.com forum:
https://openbci.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/3502/cyton-wifi-packet-loss-noise-issues/p1
- Stellarpower has gotten to work an openbci made in China setup with 16 channels and wifi shield
- But he had issues with the WIFI shield
- He did not seem to know the instruction from alwayswearshats how to resolve this
- We think it is worth studying the instruction from alwayswearshats and resolve the issues of the WIFI shield
Issues with the connector between OpenBCI Cyton and WIFI shield
- Hardware developer Jenelson reported on September 2023 about problems with the connector between OpenBCI Cyton and WIFI shield of openbci made in China in the www.openbci.com forum:
- He did not get it to work
- But we think it is worth to continue where he stopped
- A possible solution could be to replace the connector which seems to have issues
Issues with the www.openbci.com forum
- openbci made in China is not supported in the www.openbci.com
- people who did it all the same received often only negative feedback by supporters there.
- It is better to build a new community for openbci made in china at another place than in the www.openbci.com forum
Lack of documentation of OpenBCI made in China
- OpenBCI made in China cost much less than products from www.openbci.com
- But they do not have a own documentation which is satisfying for us personally.
- And they do not have their own community either.
- Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org has not yet a community either.
- But he has documented mainly the issues of openbci made in China and why eventually nobody uses it
Stock market speculation and sculping with OpenBCI made in China
- Only give negative feedback to avoid this.
PiEEG would be the better solution than OpenBCI made in China
- But PiEEG still seems to undergo stock market speculation and sculping
- OpenBCI made in China is on the market since several years, but did not find a community of users.
All of the OpenBCI made in China modules sold on eBay and Aliexpress seem to have issues.
- They are on the market since several years.
- But none of the offers has a lot of high ratings.
- The offers are pulled from the market after a view sales and then reoffered again as a new product offer.
