Help to create a driver

Post by yannick »

Hi,
I would like to create a driver for my eeg device, but the problem that my device is old ( more thant 10 years). The eeg data sent on a owner card. The device write an eeg file on hard disk, after that only solution for me is to read the file to send information to openvibe. Do you think it's possible to do a driver for openvibe based on the process ( reading information in a file) ?

Dear yannick,

Yes, that's probably possible to do it that way. However, I doubt that it would be the most efficient way to do it... Better prefer writing a driver that reads what comes on the acquisition card directly if you can...

Anyway, if you still want to read the written file and send it to OpenViBE, remember to flush the begining of the file at initialization step so not to include a delay in the sending of the samples.

I hope this helps,
Best regards,
Yann
