Mind control via serial port
Friday, October 23, 2009
[Zibri] found a very simple method for using brain waves as a controller via a DB9 serial port. He’s using Uncle Milton’s Force Trainer which we saw yesterday in the brain controlled Arduino. In that project the Arduino tapped into the LEDs and interfaced those signals with a computer via USB. This time the connection was made using an RS-232 transceiver to pass data from the programming header inside of the toy’s base unit to a computer over the serial port. Tapping into the programming header has a lot more potential and should be more reliable than sniffing logic out of LED connections. [Zibri] has written an application to display the received data but it doesn’t look like he’s made the code available for download.
Apparently he tipped us off about a week ago. We recall seeing this submission but as you can tell it’s a little bit light on the detail. So if you want your tips to be at the front of the line, make sure you do what you can to fill us in on all the details of your project. At our request [Zibri] provided a picture of the PCB from the Force Trainer’s base unit. See it after the break. Read the rest of this entry »

The Transactor essentially acts as a Synchronous Terminal Adapter, converting ISDN LAPD/X.25 to RS-232 LAPB/X.25. However, both protocol interfaces are fully terminated in the Transactor up to and including the Lucent 5ESS Application Processor Communication Package (APCP) protocol. The MDR records are extracted from the APCP messages from the 5ESS and repackaged in Network APCP protocol over the X.25 port towards the CAS. Because the X.25 network is not always reliable, during outages the Transactor will store up to 30,000 records for forwarding when the network is operational again.
