Why it is time to dump OpenBCI & and replace it with PiEEG?

Last Updated on March 16, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

OpenBCI is 10 years old and is the concept not outdated in the year 2024? We have alternatives like PiEEG with the issues we mentioned. But it seems that someone wnat to force us to buy OpenBCI from www.OpenBCI.com, since products from OpenBCI made in China have issues:

099d. OpenBCI made in China – what do we know about it?

Multi-sensor devices based on single TGAM modules and InfluxDB are technologically possible but not developed:

EEG devices with 32 channel or more & InfluxDB have already been proposed – but where can we find those?

PiEEG has already a successor which smaller:

State of the affairs for ADS1299 EEG products: for each YouTube video make his own ADS1299 board?

But not yet on the market. We have a huge diversity of EEG devices in th low cost segment and a huge amount of seller who want to sell those. But we do not believe that it is possible to increase prices for those anymore. This only hinders their developement.

The most mature developement is currently PiEEG which should be taken over by www.openbci.com and replace OpenBCI Cyton if possible, since it has most probably not the limitations and issues of OpenBCI Cyton:

As far as channel number is concerned.
