The purpledrop-driver project contains software which acts as a control gateway for the PurpleDrop USB device.
The main utilities provided by this library are the :ref:`pdserver` and :ref:`pdcam` executables. These two daemons provide the purpledrop control gateway and raspberry pi camera support, respectively.
To run the gateway, simply run the following commands:
pdserver --board "misl_v4.1" pdcam server
You can replace "misl_v4.1" with the name of the electrode board you are using. The name references one of the available electrode board definitions, as described in :ref:`Board Definitions`. You can also forego the pdcam command altogether if you do not require video.
