Hi all. I need to send TTL triggers from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Normally I use pp.m but our current solution uses Octave instead of Matlab and I can't get the mex file to compile. So I want to try the mysterious "method 2". But I cannot find the file LinuxParportServer.zip Could someone please send it or send a link to it?
Advice on compiling ppmex.c on Octave would also be helpful. Here's the list of errors I got.mex -g -v ppmex.c
