Description

This PR reorganizes the Ganglion Getting Started Guide into a clearer prerequisites → setup steps → GUI flow, updates outdated screenshots and hardware descriptions.

Changes Made

  • Restructured "What You Need" into a single numbered list with reference info per item, and added a new "Setting Up Your Hardware" section for the actual assembly/setup steps
  • Moved GUI installation into the "What You Need" prerequisites, removing the separate "Download/Install/Run the OpenBCI GUI" section
  • Rewrote the Ganglion board, dongle, case, and EMG/ECG electrode descriptions for clarity and accuracy
  • Simplified the pre-2023 6V/AA battery pack note into a single collapsible note under "What You Need"
  • Replaced outdated GUI screenshots with current versions
  • Added a new Ganglion front/back view diagram

  • AUTOSCAN is a Cyton radio control, not an action available in this Ganglion flow. The current instructions use REFRESH LIST, and the shared troubleshooting guide scopes AUTOSCAN specifically to Cyton (Troubleshooting/02-GUI_Troubleshooting.md:35-38), so Ganglion users cannot follow this step.
-   hit 'AUTOSCAN' a couple of times

  • The default battery described above is rechargeable, so replacing it with a “fresh” battery is not the applicable check for most readers. Distinguish charging the lithium battery from replacing cells in the legacy AA pack.
-   check that you have fresh batteries
