How to Install

$ npm install cylon cylon-neurosky

How to Use

This example displays the Attention and Meditation data reading sent by the Mindwave Headset:

var Cylon = require('cylon');

Cylon.robot({
  connections: {
    neurosky: { adaptor: 'neurosky', port: '/dev/rfcomm0' }
  },

  devices: {
    headset: { driver: 'neurosky' }
  },

  work: function(my) {
    my.headset.on('attention', function(data) {
      Logger.info("attention:" + data);
    });

    my.headset.on('meditation', function(data) {
      Logger.info("meditation:" + data);
    });
  }
}).start();

How to Connect

OSX

In order to allow Cylon.js running on your Mac to access the Mindwave, go to "Bluetooth > Open Bluetooth Preferences > Sharing Setup" and make sure that "Bluetooth Sharing" is checked.

Ubuntu

Connecting to the Mindwave from Ubuntu or any other Linux-based OS can be done entirely from the command line using Gort commands. Here are the steps:

Find the address of the Mindwave, by using:

$ gort scan bluetooth

Pair to Mindwave using this command (substituting the actual address of your Mindwave):

$ gort bluetooth pair <address>

Connect to the Mindwave using this command (substituting the actual address of your Mindwave):

$ gort bluetooth connect <address>

Windows

You should be able to pair your Mindwave using your normal system tray applet for Bluetooth, and then connect to the COM port that is bound to the device, such as COM3.
