Send trigger by parallel port

[antonio Gonzalez]

Hello.

I'm just beginnig with psychopy.

I need send trigger from psychopy to an EEG software. The EEG don't have direct conection because the eeg signal is send from the amplifier to the computer by Wireless.

Pyschopy is installed in a computer and the EEG software is installed in another computer.

In psychopy ...File>Preferences>General..in parallel port box (there are this parallel port address: [u'0x0378', u'0x03BC'].

I have some questions:

1. I must write the parallel port address of the computer wich have the psychopy or of the computer wich have the EEG?

2. Is the format [u'address']? If it is yes, the parallel port address '0*0378 and also 0*03BC? I can read in my computer "Intervalo de E/S 0378-037F" like parallel port address (I think, ).

So, Do I only need to clik in 0*0.378 in parallel port address of parallelOut properties of I/O of psychopy or I need to do anything else?

Thank you very much.

AH! You have a parallel port?! This would have been useful earlier. Please try to keep talking to your colleagues about how they achieve the connections in e-prime, because it's easier to mirror what they do. (I agree with the others that you should just use e-prime if at all possible - we can't provide the sort of support by email that I think you need).

If you've found that the address of your port is 0378 then just select that entry from the parallel component on the Builder - you don't need to change anything in prefs because that's one of the default locations that it expects.

I think now you need to spend some time trying on your own.

best wishes
Jon

Dear Jon.

I hadn't parallel port, but  I have adquired two used PC to can avance.

Please, Can you help me and tell me if I must write the port address of the computer wich have the EEG or the computer wich is installed the psychopy?

Thank you very much Jon.

[Jonathan Peirce]

Did you hear the message that you need to work with someone there that understands the technical side better? When you've done that we might be able to help more

I'm afraid the level of support you need is more than we can provide by email

good luck with your adventure
Jon

Dear Jon.

I agree your help.

In my past post only ask about if I need write the port address of the computer wich have the psycophy or the port address of the computer wich have the EEG.do it.

But, if you can help me, perhaps somebody can

Thanks very much.

this obviously has to be the address of the PsychoPy computer. Usually
the other end of the cable is attached to the EEG amplifier directly,
not the EEG recording computer. But then again, I've only worked with
three different systems so far, so there may be differences with
others.

> But, if you can help me, perhaps somebody can

Antonio, please take Jon's advise seriously and try to get somebody
who can locally help you, i.e. who can be physically present with you
in the lab and try to get things working. EEG setups are very complex,
you haven't worked with one before, you are going to have a really,
really hard time trying to figure out all the necessary details all by
yourself. And I'm only talking about the setup here. You also need a
person experienced with EEG analysis to help you with that: data
collection is, in my opinion, the easier part!

Best wishes,

Richard

Hello Richard.

Thank you very much.

I have some people who can help me with the experiment, wave recording, datas analisys, etc.

My problem is  for the installation.

The use of build of psychopy is very intuitive and watching some videos I Could built my first experimet.

I hope to learn more, and with your help is easier for a new user.

Thanks, Richard.

Hello.

I´m tried to run the experiment in another computer with parallel port.

I added DLportio in Windows, System 32, Drivers.

But when I run the software it do error. In the other computer withouth parllel port I could to run , but now I have problem with the clibration of the sreen. I put the name: Monitor PnP generico y put the resolution 1280*960 and the 31 cm. But The calibration stop in grey.

ANd after run the software and give this error.

The error message doesn't suggest any issue with the parallel port (so far). It's quitting because it can't find the file named:

    C:\Users\ANTONIO\Desktop\Lang_experiment\Blanco.png

Are you sure that file exists in that location?

Thank you very much Jon.

It was an experiment done in another computer and copy.

 I'm going to do the complete experiment in the  computer.

Thanks.

Thank you Jon.

I did like you said me and it is solutioned.

Now I have sending the triggle to the port but it give error.

I have in the box name: p_port and in port address  0*078 and it do dont run wel.

My port address is 

and give me that error

Can you help me. Thanks.
