openEEG2OSC

A simple python venv project plus udev and systemd setup for streaming multiple EEG-SMT data over OSC from a raspberry pi

• use FT_PROG to configure the FTDI chips inside the EEG-SMT with ordered serial numbers that begin with "EEGSMT"
• install ubuntu server (or whatever, should work with basically any systemd poisoned distro) on raspberry pi and setup os, network, and update stuff
• install python-venv and a few other python packages with apt (or similar tool)
• $ python -m venv .openEEG2OSC to create virtual env... change this name and the #! command in openEEG2OSC.py must also change
• $ source .openEEG2OSC/bin/activate
• $ pip install -r requirements.txt
• $ sudo cp 99-usb-serial.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-serial.rules to make EEG-SMT /dev symlinks based on their USB serial number... its up to you to
• $ sudo udevadm trigger or wait until reboot
• in openEEG2OSC.py modify lines 18 and 19 based on your local network

TD_IP = "192.168.0.104"
TD_PORT = 36663
EEG_SERIAL_HEADER = "ttyEEGSMT"

• to enable start at boot up:

  • $ sudo cp openEEG2OSC.service /etc/systemd/system/openEEG2OSC.service
  • $ sudo systemctl enable openEEG2OSC
  • $ sudo systemctl start openEEG2OSC or wait until reboot

• code is only tested with the included touchdesigner file...
