Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

JavaScript framework for the Emotiv EPOC [WIP]

This framework provides an interface to access data from the Emotiv EPOC brain sensor using Node.js.

To use this framework, you're gonna need an EPOC / EPOC+ or Insight that you can buy here.

Originally based on the epocutils library by @StephaneAG

Status:

  • Refactored to use latest SDK (v3.5.0).

  • Cognitive actions should now be working.

How to Install

  • Download the Emotiv Community SDK v3.4.0 here and copy the edk.framework file (community-sdk > lib > Mac > edk.framework) to /Library/Frameworks (on Mac).

  • Either clone this repo and run

  npm install

or just run:

  npm install epocjs

How to Use

When writing a program, use either the connectToEmoComposer or connectToLiveData function to use the emulator or the data coming from the device.

Example of simple program:

  var Epoc = require('epocjs')();

  Epoc.connectToLiveData("<path to your profile file>", function(event){
    if(event.smile > 0){
      console.log('smiling')
    }
  })

or:

  var Epoc = require('epocjs')();

  Epoc.connectToEmoComposer(function(event){
    if(event.smile > 0){
      console.log('smiling')
    }
  })

The path to your user file should be something like this /Users/< username >/Library/Application Support/Emotiv/Profiles/< filename >.emu

Device data


Getting the battery level - only working when connecting to the device, not the EmoComposer. This event should happen everytime the battery level changes.

  if(event.batteryLevel > 0){
    //do something
  }

Events


Smile

If the value is superior to 0, the headset is detecting that the user is smiling.

  if(event.smile > 0){
    // do something
  }

Looking Up / Down / Left / Right

The headset can detect the direction in which the user is looking:

  if(event.lookingUp > 0){
    // do something
  }

  if(event.lookingDown > 0){
    // do something
  }

  if(event.lookingLeft > 0){
    // do something
  }

  if(event.lookingRight > 0){
    // do something
  }

Blink

Detect if the user blinked:

  if(event.blink > 0){
    // do something
  }

Winking Left / Right

The headset can detect if the user is winking:

  if(event.winkingLeft > 0){
    // do something
  }

  if(event.winkingRight > 0){
    // do something
  }

Laugh

Detect if the user is laughing:

  if(event.laugh > 0){
    // do something
  }

Gyroscope

Detect changes in gyroscope data:

  if(event.gyroX){
    // do something
  }

  if(event.gyroX){
    // do something
  }
