Up and running with BrainStem using our Python API
Check out our new YouTube video "Up and running with BrainStem using our Python API".
This video details how to properly configure your system to communicate with our Brainstem modules. It includes: installing Python, pip, and the BrainStem API (.whl). Once everything is up and running a basic example using a USBStem module is shown. Configuration, along with the examples, are shown for both Windows and Macintosh platforms (also compatible with Linux).
