Here are some Informative Pictures on where to solder each part

1. Find your Bluetooth module in your bluetooth settings and connect to it
2. The password is "1234"

1. Unzip the BrainWaves folder and edit the settings.xml file to match your Bluetooth String
2. Change it and save the file
3. Make sure you're connected to the Bluetooth module and then run BrainWavesOSC and you'll start seeing your brain waves

Windows Users: You have to find the COM Port that the Bluetooth module is connected to. It's probably COM11 or COM5. You can use the device manager to see what your ports are connected to.

Mac Users: Type in ls /dev/tty.* in your terminal. A list of serial devices will pop up. The one you want to copy should look like this /dev/HC-06-DevA.

1. Open Processing and import the Osc5 Libraries
2. Then paste in this code
3. Edit the code so that when your meditation or attention levels are high the "t" key is pressed

4. Edit the code so that when your meditation or attention levels are low the "l" key is pressed

Download ar-drone webflight

1. Follow the instructions on the github project
2. You will copy the config.js.sample to config.js and edit to select your plugins (You don't need ffmpeg because there's already a plug called video-stream that will stream live video from your drone, just make sure it's not commented out)

1. Connect to the drone's wifi
2. Make sure you're connected to the bluetooth module
3. Run "node app.js" in your terminal
4. Point your browser to https://localhost:3000/ or https://localhost:3000/ (it depends on your computer type)
5. Then run the processing app and go back to your browser
6. The Processing app will be pressing the "t" key when your attention or meditation levels are high depending on how you edited the code. When "t" is pressed it will take off. When "l" is pressed it will land.
