Dear all (and in particular eyelink users),
I've posted our first attempt at producing an eyelink toolbox for OSX in the files section of
this list (EyelinkToolbox_beta.zip)
The EL TB seems to work well on our systems, but there's a bunch of known limitations
(and presumably many more unknown ones)
You do need to install other software (obtainable from SRResearch), namely the
eyelink_core.framework ( and presumably eyelink_core_graphics.framework, although it
may run without this latter one).
Only tested on G4 (powermac, powerbook)
Tested with Matlab 7.1, PsychToolbox Beta (very recent revision)
-does not run in dummy mode, so no point in trying without an actual eyelink
-does not show an eye image on subject pc
-no (or at least no functional) communication from the subject (i.e. mac) keyboard with
the operator Eyelink PC
-there are still a few functions missing
-we've renamed quite a bit of the functions (more consistently I believe), so in all
likelyhood, OS9 code will not run without modification
- there is very little specific OSX information, except for some demo's
-in the future, this toolbox will simply merge into the hardware folder of the psychtoolbox
(beta at first), but for now, a seperate file was made. Don't forget to add to your matlab
path (and include all subfolders!).
There are two demo's in EyelinkDemos: eyelinkexample.m and eyelinkbubble.m.
Please provide feedback, send your contributions (cool or useful demos!).
Whenever reporting bugs, please mention hardware, OS version, Eyelink version, PTB
version, and try to provide a minimal example that demonstrates the issue.
Oh, and if it doesn't work right away, don't dispair, but come back in a couple of days ;-)
Gr.
Frans
