 ------------
 You must be using OpenBCI firmware version 2 in order to do time syncing. After you `.connect()` and send a `.softReset()`, you can call `.usingVersionTwoFirmware()` to get a boolean response as to if you are using `v1` or `v2`.
 
-Now using firmware `v2`, the fun begins! We synchronize the Board's clock with the module's time. In firmware `v2` we leverage samples with time stamps and different time stamps and unique new features to calculate a time sync strategy. Time syncing has been verified to +/- 4ms and a test report is on the way. We are still working on the synchronize of this module and an NTP server, this is an open call for any NTP experts out there! With a global NTP server you could use several different devices and all sync to the same time server. That way you can really do some serious cloud computing!

+## Interfacing With Other Tools
+
+### LabStreamingLayer
+
+[LabStreamingLayer](https://github.com/sccn/labstreaminglayer) by SCCN is a stream management tool designed to time-synchronize multiple data streams, potentially from different sources, over a LAN network with millisecond accuracy (given configuration).
+
+For example, a VR display device running a Unity simulation may, using the [LSL4Unity](https://github.com/xfleckx/LSL4Unity) library, emit string markers into LSL corresponding to events of interest (For the P300 ERP, this event would be the onset of an attended, unusual noise in a pattern of commonplace ones). The computer doing data collection via the OpenBCI_NodeJS library (potentially with 4ms accuracy) would then output into an LSL stream the EEG and AUX data. LSL can then synchronize the two clocks relative to each other before inputting into a different program or toolkit, like [BCILAB](https://github.com/sccn/BCILAB) for analysis to trigger responses in the Unity display.
+
+This requires OpenBCI_NodeJS exporting data into LSL. Currently, there does not exist a pre-built NodeJS module for LSL, though LSL comes with tools that could possibly allow creation of one. In the meantime, the simpler route is to use a concurrent python script (driven by NodeJS module [python-shell](https://www.npmjs.com/package/python-shell)) to handoff the data to LSL for you, like so:
+
+In your NodeJS code, before initializing/connecting to the OpenBCIBoard:
+```js
+// Construct LSL Handoff Python Shell
+var PythonShell = require('python-shell');
+var lsloutlet = new PythonShell('LslHandoff.py');
+
+lsloutlet.on('message', function(message){
+    console.log('LslOutlet: ' + message);
+});
+console.log('Python Shell Created for LSLHandoff');
+```
+
+In your NodeJS code, when reading samples:
+```js
+st = sample.channelData.join(' ')
+//getTime returns milliseconds since midnight 1970/01/01
+var s = ''+ sample.timeStamp + ': '+ st
+lsloutlet.send(s)
+```
+
+in LSLHandoff.py:
+```py
+from pylsl import StreamInfo, StreamOutlet
+info = StreamInfo('OpenBCI_EEG', 'EEG', 8, 250, 'float32', '[RANDOM NUMBER HERE]')
+outlet = StreamOutlet(info)
+while True:
+    strSample = raw_input().split(': ',1)
+    sample = map(float, strSample[1].split(' '))
+    stamp = float(strSample[0])
+
+    outlet.push_sample(sample, stamp)
+    print('Pushed Sample At: ' + strSample[0])
+```
+AUX data would be done the same way in a separate LSL stream.
