Re: Issues with Olimex EEG-SMT, help?

Hi Harrison,

From
https://www.olimex.com/Products/EEG/OpenEEG/EEG-SMT/resources/EEG-SMT_QUICKSTART.pdf
:

1) Connect the EEG-SMT and a computer using the USB-CABLE
2) Go to device manager and locate the group “Other devices” and right
click over the OLIMEX device. Chose update driver software. A dialog will
appear and you click “Browse my computer for driver software” (the drivers
can be downloaded from the FTDI web site under VCP link)
3) “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”->”Show all
devices”-> Next
4) “Have disk”, and browse to the folder where you extracted
CDM20814_WHQL_Certified.zip and locate “ftdibus.inf”
5) Click Next and then “Install software anyway”

If your mouse starts jumping around as if it has been possessed, consult
the quick-start guide for a solution.

If you struggled with those programs, give Lucid Scribe with the OpenEEG
plug-in a shot: just select the COM port when it starts and it should pick
up the signal right away... I wrote it for easy access to the raw data!

Kind regards,
Michael.
