+Emokit FAQ
+==========
+
+* What data does emokit give me?
+
+The raw channels of the headset
+
+Battery power of the headset (in development at time of FAQ writing)
+
+Signal quality of each connection on the headset (in development at time of FAQ writing)
+
+* What data does emokit not give me?
+
+Processed data that can tell you moods or muscles or whatever.
+
+Basically, if you aren't up to doing a bit of DSP and aren't really
+educated in mathematics and neuroscience, you should use emokit under
+another library that will do the geekery for you. We publish emokit as
+a low level access tool, nothing more.
+
+* Does emokit work with all emotiv headsets?
+
+As far as we know, yes. If it doesn't work with yours, file an issue
+on the github project (http://github.com/openyou/emokit/issues)
+
+* I heard you need to know your key or something?
+
+That doesn't apply anymore. Emokit should work with all headsets and
+dongles. If it doesn't, file an issue (http://github.com/openyou/emokit/issues).
+
+* So I really don't need to know my key or whatever now?
+
+You shouldn't. It should "just work". So please stop asking.
+
+* OPTIONAL READING: The history of the key generation, and why you used to need keys
+
+When emokit first came out (For more information on this, check out
+Announcement.md in the doc directory), we only knew part of how the
+encryption worked, mainly because Daeken finished the first round,
+qDot took things over, and then neither of them had time to do
+anything for a while. So there was a lot of news that went around of
+"only certain headsets/keys work", so on and so forth.
+
+We managed to get lucky with the method for a while, because Emotiv
+was reusing keys on USB dongles, so one key would work for many
+headsets. Once Emotiv learned of this, they just had to switch out the
+firmware flashing on their keys, and emokit no longer worked.
+
+In late 2011, Daeken finished the key generation code, which means
+emokit should now work for any USB key. Note that the encryption
+happens on the USB KEY, not the headset. So it's actually tied to
+whatever you have plugged in regardless of the headset.
