Example for Windows

from thinkgear.serial import ThinkGearSerial
from thinkgear import PoorSignalDataPoint, MeditationDataPoint, AttentionDataPoint

# Create an instance of ThinkGearSerial
t = ThinkGearSerial()

# Connect to the device (e.g., COM1 at 57600 baud)
t.connect(("COM1", 57600))

# Continuously read and process data
while True:
    for data_point in t.read():
        if isinstance(data_point, PoorSignalDataPoint):
            print("Poor signal:", data_point.value)
        elif isinstance(data_point, AttentionDataPoint):
            print("Attention:", data_point.value)
        elif isinstance(data_point, MeditationDataPoint):
            print("Meditation:", data_point.value)

Example for Linux

from thinkgear.serial import ThinkGearSerial
from thinkgear import PoorSignalDataPoint, MeditationDataPoint, AttentionDataPoint

# Create an instance of ThinkGearSerial
t = ThinkGearSerial()

# Connect to the device (e.g., /dev/ttyUSB0 at 57600 baud)
t.connect(("/dev/ttyUSB0", 57600))

# Continuously read and process data
while True:
    for data_point in t.read():
        if isinstance(data_point, PoorSignalDataPoint):
            print("Poor signal:", data_point.value)
        elif isinstance(data_point, AttentionDataPoint):
            print("Attention:", data_point.value)
        elif isinstance(data_point, MeditationDataPoint):
            print("Meditation:", data_point.value)

Device Discovery

You can discover nearby Bluetooth devices with a specific name, such as MyndBand.

from thinkgear.discover import discover

# Discover a device with the name containing "MyndBand"
device_info = discover("MyndBand")
print(device_info)  # Example output: ('XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX', 5)

Note: Device discovery is a slow operation. It is good practice to save the discovered device’s address and port for future connections.

Connecting to a Bluetooth Device

Once you have the device’s address and port, you can use ThinkGearBluetooth to connect and process data points.

from thinkgear.bluetooth import ThinkGearBluetooth
from thinkgear import PoorSignalDataPoint, MeditationDataPoint, AttentionDataPoint

# Create an instance of ThinkGearBluetooth
t = ThinkGearBluetooth()

# Use the discovered device information (address and port)
device_info = ('XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX', 5)
t.connect(device_info)

# Continuously read and process data
while True:
    for data_point in t.read():
        if isinstance(data_point, PoorSignalDataPoint):
            print("Poor signal:", data_point.value)
        elif isinstance(data_point, AttentionDataPoint):
            print("Attention:", data_point.value)
        elif isinstance(data_point, MeditationDataPoint):
            print("Meditation:", data_point.value)
