Hi
I am a french student and I have a project for the Science of the Engineer section.
In this project we use Arduino for receiving data from the headset Mindwave.
Here is my problem:
I'd use the eye blinking to control a servo motor but I can not get this data, I did search but nothing concrete. Apparently I should initialize arduino to handle that type of data.
I already have a working program, but uses the attention ...
Thank you for your help and sorry for my English.

Good luck

I'm also encounterin' this problem and I've noticed in the Mindset communication protocole documentation that the eyes blinkin' datas are only availbale with the TGCD and TGC APIs.
I keep searching but and don't have any hopes at all 
Please share with us your findings, I will do same.
Cheers

Hi all!
Nathan-NIS I've finally resolved the problem.
If you want to detect the eye blink with your headset Mindwave you should do an unexpected manipulation of your headset 
I'm joking! the tip is to detect when the EEG datas theta or the raw datas values reach a threshold because eye blinks are artifacts i.e some noise for these values.
When you blink your eyes, you should detect a peack between two raw datas

Can you detect the blinking with the MindWave and Arduino?

yes

Hi Ryan,can you give tutorial for us?
how to get blinkStrength value from the headset..
