PC as BPOD Module ?

Hi Josh:

I am trying to connect a PC (a Virtual Reality Engine for Behavioral Tasks) to BPOD as if it were a Module.

My plan is to send some signals as events to BPOD when the subject reaches certain places in the Virtual World.

I thought this connection could be achieved with some of these USB to serial/RS 485 converters:

I made a small presentation to show the main goal and the possible connection diagrams:

Maybe there is another way to achieve this objective (PC as BPOD module)

Thank you very much for your help on this topic Josh

Hi Alvaro,

The mod is: delete line 47:

Serial1.write(SerialOutputBuffer, outputBufferIndex);

You will then have a module that relays any bytes from the state machine to USB, and any bytes from USB to the state machine.
