Does anyone have a driver for the emotiv epoch EEG headset for OpenVibe? I am new to this and I'm having trouble with the baby steps....
Could anyone, also, give me a brief walk-through in how to apply and set up the driver to get the system working.
Thanks a million.

DRIVER for Emotiv Epoch

Re: DRIVER for Emotiv Epoch
I have the same problem and no idea where to start I need the driver for Emotiv but compiling from sources seems like a daunting task. Help
Re: DRIVER for Emotiv Epoch
Hi juxachim and welcome on board !
We know that compiling openvibe from sources may sound tricky for people who don't have any computer programming culture.
Anyway, it is the only way to get a driver for the Emotiv EPOC. This is the agreement we have with the Emotiv company : EPOC users may connect it with openvibe only if they have bought the Research Edition (or higher), and compile the software with it.
Buck up ! you can do it
If the documentation and the previous topics on the forum don't help, come back and I'll do my best to help you.
Please state all your problems with a precise context : what is your operating system (win xp, 7 ?) what did you do, on which step it fails ?
etc.
Cheers

Re: DRIVER for Emotiv Epoch
Laurent, thanx for the cheering up I have some rudimentary programming skills from java a cpl of years ago, I installed visual C++ Express and I'm currently trying to find the sourcecode to download. I'll be compiling for win7, and I have the proper edition of the Epoch headset.
I'll sure give it a try!

Re: DRIVER for Emotiv Epoch
I managed to compile the program!
But the openVibe aquisition-server does not list the epoch driver. What did I miss? I used the win32-build script. Do i need to add something to the env-command -file?

Re: DRIVER for Emotiv Epoch
Note to self and to others looking to build the emotiv driver, I found a rather helpful article here: http://hiran6.blogspot.com/2010/10/emot ... nvibe.html with step by step instructions. I'm still in the process so I don't know how the end result will be, but I'll notifyjuxachim wrote:I managed to compile the program!

Re: DRIVER for Emotiv Epoch
The how to is out of date as it is not official. The emotiv driver has been moved to the trunc. Take a look at this discussion and I am sure you will be able to get it done -juxachim wrote:Note to self and to others looking to build the emotiv driver, I found a rather helpful article here: http://hiran6.blogspot.com/2010/10/emot ... nvibe.html with step by step instructions.

Re: DRIVER for Emotiv Epoch
Hi all !
EDIT : thanks karthiks
The error you mention :
Happens because the branch wip-lbonnet-emotiv does not exist anymore. This branch was the "beta" version of the driver, wip meaning "work in progress"
Now that the driver is quiet stable, we moved it to the trunc of the acquisition server. It means that it is compiled when building the software from a fresh SVN checkout.
You don't need to change anything in the win32-init-env file.
- Do a fresh svn checkout.
- execute win32-install_dependencies.exe (check the compiler : visual studio 2008 or 2010, depending on your version)
- Check that the Emotiv Research SDK is present
- execute win32-build.cmd
Please look this post for an idea of what you should see when executing win32-build.cmd, and the common mistake made.
Hope this helps !
