Description

The SNES module allows the Bpod state machine (v0.7+) to interface with a Super Nintendo controller. The buttons on the controller are scanned at 20kHz. If a button is pressed or released, the module generates a behavior event, which can be handled by the Bpod state machine with 100μs latency. The SNES module provides a convenient button array for human psychophysics.
