OS X requires driver

[qubodup]

On Linux, you can use the MindWave just like that but on OS X 10.10, even though /dev/ttys001 appears, it cannot be used. headset.status will be None and usually there will be the error

serial.serialutil.SerialException: Attempting to use a port that is not open

To fix this and to make /dev/tty.MindWave appear, you need to install the Mac OS X NeuroSky MindWave driver from http://support.neurosky.com/kb/mindwave/cant-get-the-connection-with-mindwave-in-mac-os-x-1010

You could add the info to your readme, even though having it here will be helpful already I hope.

I'm curious if this is still the case. I installed the driver, but noted the NeuroSky MindWave Manager does not seem to support my MindWave Mobile - or it does not show up in the Manager following it's BlueTooth connection...
