Blink LED with your Eye blink data using Brainwave Starter kit and Arduino
Call for Price
This step-by-step guide is intended to quickly get a typical Arduino board user up and running with the MindWave Mobile. This guide will show how to setup the HC-05 Bluetooth Module quickly for communication with the MindWave Mobile and gives example code to parse the output stream. The parsed output stream can then be used to perform various tasks such as to control the speed of a motor, to light up LEDs, and to control the position of a servo motor, etc.

Features
☞Interfacing the Mindwave Mobile with an Arduino board using HC-05 Bluetooth module
☞Acquiring the EEG data and eSense values from the data stream.
☞LED controlled by Eye blink level of Mindwave device.
☞Display the Eye blink levels in serial monitor.
Required Materials
This application requires the following materials:
Hardware’s:
☞Mindwave Mobile Device
☞Arduino Board
☞HC-05 Bluetooth module
☞USB cable (for Arduino)
☞Connecting Wires.
☞Bluetooth dongle, if your computer does not have internal bluetooth capabilities
Software’s
☞Arduino 1.0.5-r2
Project Materials
Connection Diagram
Note: Keep the Rx (Pin1) line in Open connection
Steps to follow [Output at LED only]
☞Switch ON the Mindwave Mobile and unpaired the last connections, then OFF the Mindwave device.
☞Program (Upload the sketch) the “Mindwave_Arduino_Eye Blink_LED” source code to Arduino Board using Arduino compiler.
☞Make all the connection as per the connection diagram, and then switch ON the Arduino Board.
☞After the 7 Seconds when arduino board was ON, switch ON the Mindwave device.
☞Now the Mindwave device and Arduino Board will pair automatically.
☞Wear the Mindwave device in Head, and blink your eyes.
☞For Mindwave device need calibration to detect the eye blink values in EEG data. So far we have to wait few minutes (approximately 2 min) for calibration.
☞After calibration, D13 LED becomes high initially, and then it will blink with respect our Eye blink levels.

Some Tips about Project
☞The Indication LED ofMindwave device glow continuously in blue color, when it’s paired with arduino HC-05 module.
☞If blue LED in blinking conditions means, it’s not pair with device.
☞The Mindwave Mobile and HC-05 module automatically paired, when we switch ON the both device.
☞Before sketch the program, you have to disconnect the Tx and Rx lines (Keep in Open connection).
☞If calibrations will take more times means, you have to ensure your Mindwave headset (may its wear improperly).
Output Details
The LED (D13) becomes Blink, when your eyes are blink usingMindwave device.
