LabStreamingLayer application for Emotiv (Legacy SDK only)

Authors: David Medine at SCCN, UCSD Chadwick Boulay at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute

Requirements

• Emotiv Premium SDK. This is no longer available for purchase.
  • Emotiv's consumer-facing SDK seems to be rapidly changing. Newer SDKs seem to have subscription options only, which I do not have so cannot develop/test.
  • For compatibility with the build systems, be sure to use the installer's default directory.
• Qt5
• boost
• liblsl
• CMake if using the cmake build system and MSVC > 2008
  • premade project files no longer supported.

Build Instructions

Windows x64 + Cmake only

1. Open a Command Prompt and change into this directory.
2. Make a build subdirectory: mkdir build && cd build
3. Call cmake
   • cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ..
     • customize with other generators
       • Only MSVC x64 seems to work right now
       • Compiler version must match Qt and Boost binaries.
     • customize with your own -DQt5_DIR=C:\Qt\5.9.1\msvc2015_64\lib\cmake\Qt5
     • customize with your own -DLSL_ROOT=path/to/LSL/build/install dir.
     • customize with your own -DEDK_ROOT="path\to\Emotiv SDK Premium Edition v3.3.2" if not using 3.3.2 or 3.3.3 in default directory.
     • customize with your own -DBOOST_ROOT=C:\path\to\boost_ver\
4. Open build\Emotiv.sln
5. Change the configuration from Debug to Release
6. Right click on INSTALL and build.
7. In the labstreaminglayer/build/lslRelease/lslinstall dir, there should be LSLEmotiv/LSLEmotiv.exe and all the necessary dll files.
