Taurus Brainwave Module | 9600bps UART EEG Sensor

Taurus Brainwave Module – 9600bps UART EEG Sensor Module for Attention and Meditation Experiments

The Taurus Brainwave Module is an EEG-style signal module for educational brainwave, attention, meditation, and biofeedback experiments. It is intended for low-cost human-interface research, learning demos, and serial-data visualization projects rather than medical diagnosis.

The module can be connected to microcontroller or PC serial tools and paired with display or data-log projects using boards such as the ELAB Nano V3, Raspberry Pi Pico W, or indicators like the RGB Full Color LED Module.

Use isolated, battery-powered development setups for human-connected experiments and follow the supplier wiring guide carefully. This page is written for hobby and education workflows, not clinical or safety-critical health decisions.

Technical Specifications

Board Layout & Label Guide

• VCC – Module power input; follow product label.
• GND – Ground reference for the serial host.
• TXD – Module serial data output to host RX.
• RXD – Optional command input if supported by firmware.
• Electrode Input – Connect only according to the supplied headset or electrode instructions.
• Signal Quality – Good skin contact and low motion improve readings.
• Isolation Note – Prefer battery-powered and isolated test setups for human-connected experiments.
• Serial Note – Start with 9600 baud and adjust only if your module documentation differs.

Application Scenarios

1. Python Serial Packet Viewer

Capture raw serial bytes from the module for protocol inspection.

import serialport = serial.Serial(“COM7″, 9600, timeout=1)while True: data = port.read(32) if data: print(data.hex(” “))

2. Arduino Serial Bridge

Forward module UART data to the USB serial monitor.

#include SoftwareSerial brain(10, 11);void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); brain.begin(9600);}void loop() { while (brain.available()) Serial.write(brain.read());}

3. Simple Attention Indicator

Use parsed attention values to control an LED after adapting the parser to your packet format.

const int ledPin = 13;int attention = 0;void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); Serial.begin(9600);}void loop() { if (Serial.available()) { attention = Serial.read(); digitalWrite(ledPin, attention > 60 ? HIGH : LOW); }}

Q: What interface does it use?
A: It is intended for UART serial data workflows.

Q: Can I connect it to Arduino?
A: Yes, through a compatible serial interface and safe power setup.

Q: Why are readings noisy?
A: Poor electrode contact, motion, mains noise, and grounding can affect signals.

Q: Can it diagnose health conditions?
A: No, it should not be used for diagnosis or medical decisions.

Q: Can I log data on a PC?
A: Yes, use a USB serial adapter or serial-capable host.

Q: What should I verify before use?
A: Power, baud rate, TX/RX wiring, electrode connection, and isolation safety.
