Developing

first npm install the webapp requirements, then grunt to build the webapp. for dev, you can grunt-watch to re-build the webapp on filechange.

Details

the flask server launches a mindwave_client.py thread, which communicates with the mindwave device and POSTs packets to the local server.

the local server also serves a webpage front-end. the local server and the webpage communicate over websockets.

the webapp has an (implemented but as-of-yet unused) signal freshness property, and a signal quality property relating to the mindwave device readings.

Todo

• signal quality / connection UI tooltip
• auto-reconnect to device on disconnect
• stop recording data when the web frontend closes.
