Eye tribe and opensesame

BudSpencer

Hi!

I am trying to test an eyetribe that I have just bought by another user. However I am not able to conect it with opensesame. I am new so I am trying to run a template but the error is:

Unexpected error

Hi @BudSpencer ,

The error message indicates PyGaze cannot connect to the device. There can be many reasons for this, but the most likely one is that the EyeTribe server, which is the software that PyGaze connects to, is not running. Or perhaps the server is running, but cannot connect to the EyeTribe, in which case you should see an error message in the console.

Are you familiar with how the EyeTribe software works? I.e. you first start the EyeTribe server, which needs to be running all the time. And then a client can connect to it. This client can be the client software that is part of the EyeTrike SDK. Or it can be PyGaze.
