Do you look forward to humanity’s bright future, where all people are equal, and world hunger and poverty has been eradicated? Yeah me to.

One day my robot army will encircle the planet, bringing peace and prosperity to all peoples who follow my exact teachings as Supreme Elite Commander. Of course, the problem with robot armies is always control. And what better way to control an army of obedient super soldiers than with your VERY MIND!

A person named Zibri has posted a description of how he connected Milton’s Force Trainer direct brain-to-toy interface to his computer via a MAX3233 chip. The game interface apparently outputs ASCII characters at 57600 Baud making this perfect for hacking and interfacing with other things.

I cannot believe that we now have an easy way to convert basic brainwaves into serial data for so cheap! The seems to be 3.3v native so this would be perfect paired with an XBee to provide long range wireless brain data.

I want to build something that let my computer detect I am annoyed at it.

Check out Zibri’s post here.

Hi guys,

I am no longer posting the daily digest on this site. Funnily enough it’s because I think it looks too robotic.

Instead I will go the standard human route and post full posts again. My robot masters would he so ashamed of me, hehe.
