Dummy mode for serial response box (PST) not working in OS 2.9.4 [Windows, linux]
Hi folks,
I've finally had time to come back to some work with OpenSesame I started some time ago (version ~2.0?). I was successfully using a PST serial response box. Now, with 2.9.4 (under both Win and Linux), when in Opensesame the response box plugin is in dummy mode (use keyboard rather than PST box), the experiment is aborted; At the point when the response box needs an input, pressing one of the number keys on the keyboard (or indeed any key), the error message ' An error occured in srbox 'SR_box_continue': Only number keys are accepted in dummy mode ' is presented and the running of the experiment aborts.
Does anyone have any idea why this is the case, before I start trying to probe deeper? I get the same message both under Linux (Opensuse 13.2 : Opensesame run from source) and Windows (7.0 Enterprise).
I'd be super grateful if anyone has any suggestions!
Thanks very much in advance!

Hi Neon,
Thanks for pointing this out. It's a bug due to older code in the plug-in (#311).
It will be fixed for the next maintenance release, but until that time you could easily fix it yourself by commenting the call to
to_chr()on line 162 of the plug-in. If I'm not mistaken, that's all that is needed to fix the issue.Cheers!
