## Components

- **Arduino Pro Mini** x 3 ([docs](https://docs.arduino.cc/retired/boards/arduino-pro-mini))
- **WIZnet W5100 ethernet shield** x 1 ([docs](https://www.wiznet.hk/en/open-source-hardware/102-w5100s-ethernetshield.html?search_query=W5100+ethernet+shield&results=84))

## Article

### **Summary**

The webpage provides a detailed guide on streaming real-time EEG (Electroencephalogram) data to and from Arduino devices. The setup involves three Arduino devices, a Raspberry Pi, and multiple laptops. The data flow is as follows:

1. **Arduino 1**: Reads data from a gravity sensor and writes it to Bluetooth.

2. **Laptop**: Runs the FieldTrip buffer and visualizes the sensor channels.

3. **Arduino 2**: Connects to the network, reads data from the FieldTrip buffer, and writes it to RFM12b.

4. **Arduino 3**: Reads data from RFM12b and blinks LEDs.

The system is compatible with various operating systems like Windows, Linux, macOS, and different hardware architectures like Intel, PPC, ARM.

### **AnalysisModularity**: The system is designed in a modular fashion, with each Arduino device performing a specific function. This makes it easier to scale or modify the system.

**Cross-Platform Compatibility**: The FieldTrip real-time EEG interface is compatible with multiple operating systems and hardware architectures, making it versatile and widely applicable.

**Real-Time Data Handling**: The use of FieldTrip buffer allows for real-time data storage and transmission, which is crucial for applications that require immediate data processing and visualization.
