It is in limited short-run production and is being used successfully in major research institutions and pharmaceutical companies. Features -------- * Up to 4 shields can be stacked on one Arduino Due, for a total of 32 EEG channels * DMA drivers can read and transfer 8 channels of 24-bit resolution data at up to 16,000 samples per second (the maximum rate of the ADS1299 chip) * USB 2.0 HS (480Mbps) connectivity when using Arduino Due * Python client software and APIs provide easy interchange of real-time data to Lab Streaming Layer, pandas, numpy, and more. Data can be streamed via Lab Streaming Layer at 16,000 samples per second. * SPI EEPROM for storing configuration data * Jumpers for configuring most of the data and control lines to the Arduino * Also compatible with the Arduino Mega 2560 (voltage-level shifters included on board) but with reduced sampling speeds * Hardware, Arduino driver software, and Python client software are fully open source.
