Can you build a working BCI in just 7 days? I had a £300 budget and a vision to bridge my nervous system with my custom OS, Schro. Today, the parts finally arrived from Germany, India, and the US—and honestly, it felt like Christmas in the studio. But hardware is never just "plug and play." Between zip-tie struggles and a deceptive USB cable that only handled power (the ultimate hardware heartbreak), getting the first signal was a battle of millimeters. After chasing a few bugs on the breadboard and remapping the ESP32-S3 pins, the pipeline is finally open. In this video, I unbox the "Explorer Pack" from Upside Down Labs, seat the dual-core AI power of the ESP32-S3, and perform the first successful Alpha-wave synchronization. This is the moment Project Kitso moves from a concept to a living, breathing interface. Next up: weaving the fiber optics.
