[open] Force sensor

ezerkar

Has anybody had any experience in using a force sensor with OpenSesame (FlexiForce or other),
I basicaly want to build an apparatus that will output the reaction time as well as the reaction force (my guess there is a tradeoff)

Thanks in Advance

Hi Ezer,

I would try to find out exactly how the device that you have in mind connects to the computer, and then see if there are Python modules available that support this type of connection. For example, if the device connects through the serial port (which might well be the case, but you'd have to look it up on the vendor's site), you can use pyserial to communicate with it.

Cheers,
