Welcome to the OpenBCI wiki!

OpenBCI Data Format

So far, the most requested technical information about OpenBCI has been for a description of the format for the data being transmitted from OpenBCI to the PC. For the latest OpenBCI V3 hardware (2014), the format of the data is defined by the software running on the OpenBCI board (https://github.com/OpenBCI/OpenBCI_8bit) and on the OpenBCI Dongle (the "Host": https://github.com/OpenBCI/OpenBCI_8bit/tree/master/OpenBCI_8bit_Host. So, if you do not like our data format, you can alter it to suit your own goals, as long as you stay within the constraints of the RFDuino packet handling.

For anyone looking to develop code on the PC to receive the standard OpenBCI V3 data format, you can go to this page to see a definition of the format.

For anyone running the older V1 and V2 hardware (there are very, very few of you out there), you can go to this dedicated wiki page on the Data Format for OpenBCI V1 and V2.
