Greetings!

Does anyone have a clue of what chip is used in the headset of the Star Wars Force Trainer?
Where can we buy them? Data sheets! Schematics!
This is a fantastic sensor! Think of the applications possible!


Regards, Gramps

    @Gramps,

    I appreciate your question! It would be cool to get these without having to buy the Force Trainer.

    BTW, I win... It really does look like it does an EEG reading to control the little fan.
    (The grandkids and I put some batteries in the one I'm bringing to UPEW to hack and tried it out. It's tough!)

    I'll report more after we dissect it at UPEW Saturday night.

    There's a write-up about this on Hack-a-day.com..... The system outputs three ascii characters repeatedly if I remember right.... A concentration value, a relaxation value, and ?? or something like that.

    .... signal strength (or quality) I think was the third value.

    OBC did some experiments on this sensor at the expo.
    Any data yet?
