Configuring the TGAM1 board for raw EEG data (57600 baud) - using the Hardware method
- The default output baud rate for TGAM1 boards (at least the ones taken out of Mindflex and Force Trainer headsets) is 9600 baud (this only allows you to capture data for the default frequency bands once per second).
- To use these cheap headsets with apps made to work with "Think Gear" headsets - we need to change the communication rate to 57600 baud. There are 2 methods to achieve this:
- One way involves programming the TGAM1 board over Bluetooth - if you look through the links at the end of this post you'll find ways of doing this. I did not do it this way, instead I chose the second method.
- The second way involves removing
a single SMD (surface mount) resistor (pull-down resistor) and
adding a different resistor going from the same area and then over
to positive connection of the power supply on the TGAM1 board
(pull-up resistor).
- To do this you'll only need:
- Basic soldering iron
- 1 x 10k 1/8th watt resistor
- Heat shrink tubing to insulate the resistor
- To do this you'll only need:
- Step 1: Remove SMD
Resistor (surface mount resistor, it a little rectangle on the top
of the board.
- The SMD resistor can be removed by heating up the pad with a soldering iron and pulling it off with tweezers (or, if you are brave - snap it off with needle nose pliers).
- Step 2 -
Solder in the 10k through hole -(meaning is has wires) resistor.
- the 10k resistor goes from the spot marked B1 on the board and goes over to the positive power connection (refer to the labeled picture at the top of this post)
