• Clean up and finalize

• Right now the dropdown menus are frustrating ... we need to figure out some hover and mouse tracking action to have menus auto-close
• Hover suggestions/explanations over buttons ... for people that don't know what various things mean! (thanks for the idea, Andrea) ... this could be a but attribute ... String helpText = "xyz" ... if helpText != "" ... then show helpText after ~1 second
• Query screen size before setting default x, y of window ... to prevent initial GUI from being larger than display resolution
• Have all buttons activate on mouseReleased() as opposed to mousePressed()

Be able to open/close or stop/start an output file from within the GUI without having to disconnect and got to the control panel.

Bug Fixes

• FFT widget only goes to 100Hz max
• Cannot change the file name for a new output file. (can't type in text box)

New features

• Impedance check button
• No ganglion found error message

An overhaul of the entire widget system

• Drop down for widget layout
• Within each widget, turn upper left button into dropdown to select the widget for this container.
• Backend code to add/remove widgets if container quantity changes

Must be able to work for:

• Mac
• Windows
• Linux

Just tried using the utility and noticed:

• Help tip popups show up behind the control panel and become unreadable
• No disconnect button, when i tried to go back to the control panel to connect, I got was not able to because the util was still connected to the serial port.
• No feedback that the board is attempting to connect

• Get channel # — tells you channel number of your host/device pair
• Set channel # — sets host and device, if device present. In case of failure to change, reverts back to original
• set channel override — only sets the host... use this in case of not knowing device channel # ...
• set channel override LOOP — loop host through channels until it makes contact with device
• Set poll time — in case you're running into programming issues / code to radios (Serial-related timing)... FAST / MEDIUM / SLOW / OTHER ___
• Parsing soft reset message for firmware v2 — GUI needs to work with V1 & V2 firmware

• Four channels
• Text feedback of impedance value
• Visual feedback of impedance value (Green, Yellow, Red...)

Revamp the widget architecture

• Make a widget class
• Example of widgets

Improve speed of app with thread on serial port processing.

• Remove all files that are not needed.
• Organize​ PDE files
• Rename all widgets to W_Xyz.pde

New features for playback

• Slider on bottom of time series plot
• Total time and slider like watching a youtube video

New Features

• Building ganglion code as a binary. See electron
• Launching binary from processing. See processing's launch()
• Node process status checks
• Impedance checking
• Show no ganglion's found message in control panel
• Pass channel changing messages to node

Bug Fixes

• Going back to the control panel should disconnect the Ganglion BLE inside the node process, but not stop the node process.
• FFT widget only goes to 100Hz max

Adds a widget for Pulse Sensor

Fancy intro screen to app

• Clean up and finalize

• Clean up and finalize

add a simple -2.2 into the calculation ...

I'm not able to run the newest development code with the gifanimation library, could be because i'm using linux or could be because the library is deprecated.

Adds a widget for open bionics

• Connection
• Check status
• Fix research mode bug

Every time a windows boots up the app without having a Ganglion compatible dongle in, they see a pop-up error message. This is confusing!

I can see that there are a few lines referencing
netowrkingBoxPlayback
This would be super handy for developing on the receiving end and troubleshooting without having to be streaming live data.

A feature request is extended playback control, such as the ability to start the file from the beginning while still in the GUI, viewing data. When playing back files, I would often want to start at the beginning to re-examine the data I've seen so far; however, the GUI currently only allows for pause ("Stop data stream") and resume ("Start data stream"). The only way to start from the beginning is to exit the system and then restart the system. It would be great to have a "Reset"/"Start from beginning" option in data view mode.

Other options could be "jump back 5 seconds" to re-examine particular moments in the playback. Or set a marker to be able to start from (e.g. play back the data from timepoint 1:30).

The board will reset its sampleCounter to 0 aka the sampleNumber that gets sent with each packet on most commands:

Expect the sampleNumber to go to 0 in these circumstances!

Verify BDF output is working for both Ganglion and OpenBCI 32 Bit board

• Pass through scale to BDF
• Switch file ending to BDF
• Switch file name to BDF

This is based on Irene's work

Dropped packets should be smoothed instead of large buffers.

Trying to run master and getting this error...

• Networking (Gabe)
• General tutorials about features of GUI

I just received my OpenBCI 32-bit board, and, when I ran it with the GUI, it just freezes instead of establishing a connection:

After waiting for a while, it becomes a blank screen:

Improve the overall responsiveness of the EMG widget

• Backend
• Sliders
• Stop circles from leaving window
• Fix config window

Resizing the window during data streaming will reset the text to "start data streaming", which is supposed to be "stop data streaming" still.

Resizing will also reset both texts and values of "Vert Scale(uV)", "Vert Scale(Log)", "Polarity" and "Max Freq". It would be better if they remain the same after resizing, as the rest of the buttons do.

Before resizing:

After resizing: (buttons in red are those that reset after resizing)

New time series plot

Ganglion Mode

• Remove Ohm when in Ganglion mode
• Remove "hardware settings" from time series plot in Ganglion mode

Playback mode

• Indicator of current place in time
• Located on bottom of time series plot
• Total time and slider like watching a youtube video

• Ultracortex presets
• Mulitple channels
• 10-20 labeling
• Drag and drop channel number to 10-20 position
• Drag and drop reference adn ground
• Impedance testing visual feedback

A widget that pops up when the data log bar is clicked on showing that last 100 entries.

Make it look sweet

• Add "Tutorial" Button that links to Youtube tutorial for getting started via control panel
• Fix spacing and make sure radio utility doesn't have any bugs
• radio config/utility has the "SET CHANNEL" list created by default ... it needs to be turned on/off so as not to appear during loading sequence ... it could also be a mode conditional that needs to be updated

• move all button.isMouseHere() interactivity from interactivity.pde into respective isMouseHere() functions of parent objects ... ex: topNav.stopButton.isMouseHere() should be in the isMouseHere() function of the topNav instance.

• Weird signal for ganglion second time device is used in same session
• Kill hub at start up
• GUI crash Cyton error when board is off
• Clear BLE list on refresh click
• Ganglion not writing accelerometer data
• Electron not able to reconnect to board if it lost power with a connection on.
• Kill spikes #90

Go through various situations in code and find areas where users could benefit from seeing feedback.

Where can we use output instead of println or new places to use output.

Just downloaded master and cannot run it

I noticed that when playing back a 16 channel recording on the GUI, it automatically sets the GUI to read the first 8 channels of the data only. This could only be changed to the 16 channel version of the GUI when first selecting "Live (from OpenBCI)", selecting 16 channels, then clicking "Playback (from file)" and starting the system from there. This is unintuitive, since the option of "Channel Count" looks like it refers to the "Live" data source mode, but not to the "Playback" mode.

In short - the "Channel Count" option should also appear at the "Playback (from file)" panel, or have the program automatically detect that there are 16 channels (columns) of data being read.
