Let us be careful about on which pathway we want to stream our physiological data. If we want to stream data from an ECG, PPG, EEG sensor to InfluxDB, we can:
OpenBCI?
1. Take a ECG, PPG, EEG sensor
2. Attach it to an OpenBCI module
3. If we want WIFI, and do not depend on OpenBCI GUI to be our lifelong companion, we need a WIFI shield, solder it and update it, test it and see if we get it to work.
4. If we choose an OpenBCI Cyton with WIFI shield, we have to connect 8 channels of the WIFI REST API to an InfluxDB with 8 parameters.
Four individual ECG, PPG, EEG modules?
- Take a sensor module
- Take an A/D converter which has at least 16 bit.
- Take an ESP32 module and connect in a super easy way to Home Assistant, from where sensor data can be exported to InfluxDB.
- This this circuit diagram was developed by us, which are amateurs in electronic engineering. How would a professional electronics engineer build this circuit the easiest way, who want to publish it in a high quality journal?
- We saw that the biological research scientist with a passion for collaborative public software and hardware development Scott Harden is currently developing on his personal web site strange devices, such as pressure sensors, Analog-to-Digital Converters with 24-Bit with Built-in Temperature Sensor, and 16-bit timers:
- We do not understand these new devices Scott is building, and they offer no solution for our problem.
We do not know which is the easiest to way stream EEG, PPG and ECG sensor data to InfluxDB, and will study how electronics engineers which publish papers in high quality journals solve this problem.
