brain wave controled robot with mindwave headset

 brainwave controled robot

In this tutorial we discuss about how to control ur robot with ur brain
 components need 
  • arduino board (i used arduino uno)
  • driver ic (l293d)
  • mind wave head set
  • dc motor
  • battery
  • robot chasis
  • pc or laptop(must have bluetooth)
software needed
  • arduino ide
  • mindwave mobile
  • communication bridge
steps,,,
  • install mindwave mobile on your pc
  • install arduino ide
make the body of robot
         


the green coloured board is the motor driver module ,u can buy it as it is or make this with the l293d 

connect the driver with the 9,10,11,12 pins of arduino 



now your robot is ready , 
now you can control your robot with your attention,,,!!!!! is it cool?????
for that u want the mindwave headset



         switch on ur head set and pair it with ur computer or laptop, the name of the device is mindwavemobile
  • open mind wave mobile on your pc
then u will get a window like this

select brainwave visualiser



make sure ur headset is turned on,, ten place it on ur head
then u can see ur attention level and meditation level
                              according to this attention level u can control ur robot speed,,
more your attention more your speed.
                       for that open arduino ide and paste the code below
int i;
int x;
void setup() { 
 pinMode(13,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(9, OUTPUT);   
pinMode(10,OUTPUT);
pinMode(11,OUTPUT);
pinMode(12,OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);

}
void loop() 

{ if(Serial.available())
{
  x=Serial.read();
if(x<30)
{
for(i=255;i>4;i--)
{digitalWrite(13,LOW);
  delay(10);
   analogWrite(10,i);
   analogWrite(11,i);
}
}
   if(x>30)
{
for(i=5;i<256;i++)
{digitalWrite(13,LOW);
  delay(10);
   analogWrite(10,i);
   analogWrite(11,i);
}}
}}

connect arduino with your pc
upload this sketch to arduino board

after this open the communication bridge ,,

select ports for ur neurosky and arduino.you can find the ports from the device manager

click done .
now u can see ur robot speed is changing according to your attention level.
u can see the graphical representation also.
 now start fighting with your friends,,, check who have more attention.
