PACKETS
Waiting. Install the CP210x driver, plug in, press CONNECT PORT, pick "Silicon Labs CP210x".
BENCH SUCCESS (headset OFF your head): PACKETS OK climbing + SIGNAL 200 = solder joints good. Attention/meditation will sit at 0 off-head — that is correct.
ON-HEAD: signal drops toward 0, attention/meditation come alive.
Garbage but no packets = wrong baud. Stock MindFlex = 9600.
WIRED (bench): T-pin → CP2102 RXD · one ground → CP2102 GND · CP2102 → USB · headset on its own 3×AAA. Chrome/Edge only.
WIRELESS (later): same page works for the HC-06 — pair it in Windows Bluetooth (PIN 1234), then CONNECT and pick the "Standard Serial over Bluetooth" COM port. Baud stays 9600.
RECORD: REC captures one row per packet (timestamp, signal, att, med, 8 bands), held in memory only — nothing leaves this page unless you export. Proof of record, sealed by default.
SAFETY: the wired path ties your head to a mains desktop through copper. Short bench tests only. The Bluetooth build is the instrument; this is the workbench.
