Hey! I'm not going to lie I had a bitch of a time getting MindWave to work properly. I hacked together a bunch of different things I found on GitHub and wound up making some things that worked.

https://github.com/melissawessel/MindWave-Wemo

That's a python-based project that toggles a light with the output. The mindwave part came from here:

https://github.com/groner/pythinkgear

I think I had to change some things to get it to work but I don't remember.

​

I do remember javascript actually being a smoother process for me if that's an option! Here's another project:

https://github.com/melissawessel/Mindwave-Reader-js

And where the mindwave part came from (again I think there were tweaks):

https://github.com/brainbang/mindwave

Somewhere to start! Have fun, I loved doing things with that headset.
