Sending triggers via parallel port to eego software

Thanks for trying those out @Ral,

I have two more things for you to try, as I can’t see a problem with your set up from what you’ve kindly provided here. But the first one will involve you downloading and installing a .dll file on the machine running PsychoPy, so you will need access to the admin rights on that machine.

  1. Download and install the InpOutx64.dll file from here. You need to use the “Binaries only - x86 & x64 DLLs and libs” option under the Download Links subheading.

You then need to put the InpOutx64.dll in the same folder as your PsychoPy experiment file. Then restart PsychoPy and try running your experiment again. You can get a more detailed explanation on this post.

  1. Step 1 might solve your problem, but if not (or in the meantime whilst you wait for admin rights) then we need to find out more about the parallel port. To do this, there is a demo in the Coder view which will help. I know this demo exists in PsychoPy3, so I’m hoping it also exists in PsychoPy2! To run the demo, open Coder view > demos > hardware > parallelPortOutput.py. If you run this and there’s an error, please paste that error here.

I hope this makes sense, do let me know if anything needs clarifying!
