Stages of the Project

Iteration 1 - Thesis


That was the plan in early 2011. Little did I know.

Iteration 2 - Antithesis (Google Developer Day 2011)


Google Developer Day 2011 in Berlin ADK Showcase 


That was what actually happended. Includes a lot of learning about Android, BCI, USB, Bluetooth, Arduino, tech companies and people.

Iteration 3 - Synthesis (Plan)


That's the current idea - see last post. Simplifying things, trying to run USB Host mode on one port and USB Accessory mode on the other. Kind of a re-entry of the initial design.

It Just Works

It is nice to have an actual device to test and try things, especially when your Lion is bitten by the infamous 19099 bug. Mine is. So I was very happy to plug in my new Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet, configure the device for development, start some Honeycomb samples from Google, and run them on ... 
Surprise. The tablet was not visible in the Eclipse Run and Debug dialogs.

Android devices reported to be ADK-compatible

A lot of people are asking which Android devices are reported to work with  the ADK. Here are some of them. I will try to keep this post up to date.

Un-Bo-Xing!

Something precious, something small has just arrived from a far and exotic location. The board is actually nice to look at - of engineering meets art type.

Hardware List

This is the hardware for the project. 
  1. OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator (NIA) It is actually a sensor, not an actuator, but who cares. Wait a sec. It it was an actuator it would not read my brain but write it. Thinking about it I am not shure if I should wear that thing any longer. Want to test this project, anybody? 
  2. Android Open Accessory Development Kit. Which one I don't know yet. Will update this post. Looks like I will be using this.
  3. Belkin USB Hub. Need two devices on the USB.
  4. Google Nexus S Android Smartphone w/ Android 2.3.4 Some Android 3.1 tablet. Lenovo Thinkpad seems a good fit for this project.
  5. Laptop for coding. Soldering iron. Stuff.
That should be it.
