When I use the BioEra design file, I cannot detect EEG signals for channels 9-16. Here is my bpd file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-q3H_mPgD4T-0Qo9M1eBcvU41Ku9vsdf/view?usp=sharing Cyton (1-8ch) works properly, but when Daisy board (9-16ch) is attached, the signal of 9-16ch cannot be detected. The test signal (generated by the command "[" or "[" https://docs.openbci.com/docs/02Cyton/CytonSDK) can be detected only for channels 1-8. Best regards, Nobu

Here's the design file I'm using. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-q3H_mPgD4T-0Qo9M1eBcvU41Ku9vsdf/view?usp=sharing Unlike your design, the pipe type is "float". Is this the reason why it does not work properly? I will try it later using the snippet you sent me and report back.Thank you. Nobu

I bought my cyton board in 2018, so the firmware should be v3.0.0 or later. I thought it was possible that this may have affected this problem. The command "C" means to make channels 1-16 available. https://docs.openbci.com/docs/02Cyton/CytonSDK Anyway, I will check again later. Please wait for my report. Nobu

Unfortunately, the signals from the Daisy board are still not displayed correctly. The signals from the same board and GUI are displayed correctly. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iQhYIv_0zs2iyRxW0Ip0cUYITZ4Zepo4/view The firmware of my board was v3.1.1. Nobu

Here is how it looks for me: http://proatech.com/design/image/cyton_16ch.png You will notice, that here the measured sample rate is 125, while in your case it is 250, which looks like the daisy board is not attached and the board is sending data in 8 channel mode. Or maybe you have the wifi shield? I am just guessing here. Try this command: vC[ It will reset the board before changing to 16 channel mode. It works here. I updated the example design referenced above.

The version of BioEra that I am using is v4.184. So, i will try to upgrade and check it again. Best regards, Nobu

However, there was another problem. Artifacts on the spikes are visible only in the Daisy board signals(9-16ch).Do you have any solution for this phenomenon? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H_gsnxKW1dtVArdN8y4sTazvrtfJof2W/view?usp=sharing This is not the case when streaming data using the GUI distributed by OpenBCI.

That means data is not delivered to Polygraph fully synchronized (it is shifted by one packet). I modified the above snippet example to fix that. Please check it out.

I thought it would be better to connect the 'F_Synchronizer' element also for the synchronized calculation of 16 channels of vector data per sample. Am I correct in my understanding?
