The tragedy of stellarpower from Scotland who suffers from packet loss & noise issues with the Cyton OpenBCI Wifi shield

Last Updated on January 8, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

We suffer with stellarpower and would like to express our deepest sympathy to him.

We would like to share our knowledge with stellarpower to help him. We have studied the problems with the OpenBCI WIFI shield in great detail, although we are not coders, and described those in our journal. The main problems are described here:

Unfortunately, our account in the OpenBCI forum is locked. But if a OpenBCI forum member would like to help stellarpower, he could send a private message to stellarpower with the information which is published here, which eventually can solve his problems.

We are still strongly interested in the OpenBCI WIFI shield, and if a skilled person like stellarpower manages to publish a working demo of the WIFI shield without cyclic noise spiking and packet loss, this would be a break through for the WIFI shield.

If we manage to get an OpenBCI WIFI shield which has no packet loss and cyclic noise spiking, it would also be an interesting components to solve this problem:

A working and fast WIFI shield could be a break trough for this device. Eventually someone will connect it to Home Assistant over the WIFI shield, and not using complicated pathways like this one:

It is highly desirable, that we build a global community, where OpenBCI supporters and users from New York, Peking, Zurich, other cities, as well as TI supporters and sellers around the world help stellarpower to solve his problems with the OpenBCI WIFI shield, so that stellarpower can publish his solution which serves us all.
