• pylsl is supported by the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience

• one of the supporter is Chadwick Boulay, Sr. Research Associate @SachsLab Neurotech software:

– who explained to us the difference between EEGLAB and BICLAB

• It is as far as we know the only fully supported live-stream of OpenBCI data to stream sensor data from OpenBCI over LSL to Python LSL to the InfluxDB client for Python to InfluxDB

• The InfluxDB client for Python is supported by InfluxData who developed InfluxDB:

• If we want to be on the save site for a live stream of OpenBCI data from OpenBCI to InfluxDB, let us choose this pathway.

• One of the issues of the Python interface to the Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) is that is that pylsl not working on RaspberryPi (#36):

• We suggest to use a LattePanda to resolve the issue, as discussed on this site.

• A LattePanda with x86-64 processor can also be used to run a version of Home Assistant, which allows to edit the .yaml files, which is essential for developers.

• We promote the LattePanda V1 to resolve the issues discussed here. This has previously been discussed on this site
