Dear All,
I finally managed to get pyxid working (it turns out that the standalone version of Psychopy 1.84.1 had older versions of pyserial and pyxid, without some necessary bug fixes). In the end I had to follow the instructions to install Python and Psychopy manually (which wasn’t that straightforward), but at least it now works. Kinda.
When I use the cedrus suggested python code and report (using print) the content of “response” i.e.
from future import division
import pyxid
from psychopy import visual, core
get a list of all attached XID devices
#devices = pyxid.get_xid_devices()
buttonBox = None
for n in range(10): # doesn’t always work first time!
try:
devices = pyxid.get_xid_devices()
core.wait(0.1)
buttonBox = devices[0]
break # found a device so can break the loop
except Exception:
pass
if not buttonBox:
logging.error(‘could not find a Cedrus device.’)
core.quit()
print devices
core.wait(10.0)
dev = devices[0] # get the first device to use
if dev.is_response_device():
dev.reset_base_timer()
dev.reset_rt_timer()
while True:
dev.poll_for_response()
if dev.response_queue_size() > 0:
response = dev.get_next_response()
print response['key']
# do something with the response
Then for each trigger or button press on the Lumina I get two lines of response - presumably for the button down and up. Is there any way to limit the response to solely the button down?
Cheers, Jon
