Hi Josh!

I have  a really weird issue where I can't use the GUI to change settings.  I can type in the GUI, but after the trial runs, it just changes back to what it was before(!?). To test this, I made a script that simply turns a light on for one second and I put that time in the GUI.  I can type in the GUI to change it, but no matter what I write, it just changes back to 1.  I am calling BpodParameterGUI('sync',S) on the first line of my for loop.  I'm using Bpod Console v1.63.  Is there any way you could help me with this?

Thanks,
Matt W.

Hello everybody,

I was wondering whether it was possible to implement a transition that does not happen immediately as a particular event occurs, but only when the timer elapses.


For instance, I would need a state where mice licks are required to occur to transition to a subsequent state (Reward) but that would happen only after the state timer is elapsed and not triggered by the mice' first licks.
If no licks takes place, Bpod skips the Reward states and finishes the trial.

Thank you in advance, 
Have a great day!

Ahoy, I'm trying to convert the timestamps coming out of Bpod from relative to absolute so I can align them with other processes.

I thought that `SessionData.Info.SessionStartTime` would store the time from which Bpod's clock begins, but it turns out this isn't the case. `SessionStartTime` is calculated by Matlab after the first trial is run.

It seems to me the best point at which to estimate when the trial began in Matlab is immediately before `RunStateMatrix` is called, but is there something more precise?

I'm also curious about when the state machine's clock starts running. Sometimes the first `TrialStartTimestamp` is a few or even several seconds (rather than 0 as I would expect). Is the state machine's 0-time tied to something specific that Matlab has access to?

Hi Josh,

I'm trying to use Analog Output Module to generate LED pulses with ramp-up and ramp-down intensity.  I can almost successfully control the LED shape, but when I check the output with oscilloscope, I realized that at the end of each loop, there is one sample that has 3-4V output.  I made sure that this sample is not included in my looped waveform.  Indeed, even if I generate a simple zero vector as a waveform and loop it, there are always one sample at the end of each loop that gives strange value. Do you have any idea why this happens?

I'm using WavePlayer, and my code for setting up WavePlayer is as follows (to make it simple, here I generated a simple zero vector waveform):

    LEDsamplerate = 10000;
    LEDwaveform = zeros(1,100);

    W = BpodWavePlayer('COM3');
    W.BpodEvents = {'On', 'Off', 'Off', 'Off'};
    W.TriggerMode = 'Toggle'; 
    W.LoopDuration = [20, 0, 0, 0];
    W.LoopMode = {'On','Off','Off','Off'};
    W.SamplingRate = LEDsamplerate;
    W.loadWaveform(1, LEDwaveform);
    LoadSerialMessages('WavePlayer1', {['P' 1 0]});


With this simple zero waveform, I still see a 5V sample at the end of each loop in my oscilloscope.  I would really appreciate it if you could let me know how I can resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Hiroyuki

How do I change the font for "Bpod Finite State Machine" in the Bpod Console?

Hi everyone, 

I am trying to install the Analog output and I've been following all the steps in this guide to upload the firmware
https://sites.google.com/site/bpoddocume.../teensy3_x
I make it all the way to the very last step, I press upload  (BpodWavePlayer), but then I am hit with an error message " 'SdFatSdioEx' does not name a type".
I've been trying to locate the 'SdFatSdioEx', but I cannot find it anywhere?
- What am I missing? Where is this 'SdFatSdioEx'? Do I need to install something additionally?

Thank you
Sof

Hi, I was trying to upload a piece of code to an Arduino board. I did that through a serial connection that went through my Bpod, which in restrospect might not be the correct thing to do. The end result was that the blue indicator of the Bpod went off. I did all of the restarting and replugging I can think of but the blue indicator just won't come on again. The port still appears in PyBpod when I plugged the Bpod in but I can't run any code due to a connectivity error. Is there any way I can salvage my Bpod at this point? Thank you so much!
