  As an update, i checked the log of the EyeTribe and it brings up this error.

  I've tried a lot of different approaches but still can't make it work.

  Last update:
  I asked in the eyetribe forum and this is what they answered. I leave the link to the topic here in case anybody else has the same problem.

  Hi,

  Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I don't have any opportunity to look at it right now (maybe @Edwin does?), but it's on the radar.

  Cheers,
  Sebastiaan

  Hi there,

  I'm getting the exact same error message under the same circumstances. I know you folks are probably busy right now, but I just figured I'd add my name to the list in the hopes of getting this resolved faster. Thanks!

  Hi there

  I am getting the same error (Windows 10, Python 2.7.10, latest version of OpenSesame).

  I still don't have an EyeTribe with me to actually verify this, but: The fact that something that definitely did work before now seems broken for a lot of people suggests that it may be due to an update of the EyeTribe SDK.

  I have lasted tested it (successfully) with v0.9.56 of the EyeTribe SDK for Windows. Right now, v0.9.77 is also available. If you downgrade to 0.9.56, does it work again?

  Hi guys,

  With some help from Martin from the EyeTribe team, the issue was debugged. Fixing it is on the top of my TODO list once I get back into the office. Should be solved around Tuesday.

  For the curious: The issue was on our side, with a slightly malformed json message (with a trailing comma). The newest version of the EyeTribe server is a bit more picky with these things, and decided it didn't like the extra comma.

  Cheers,

  Edwin

  @sebastiaan You are probably right. I reinstalled OpenSesame and downgraded to SDK 0.9.56 and now the callibration works perfectly.

  @Edwin Thanks for the update, but given my deadlines I'll stick with this configuration for now ;-)

  BOOM! Should be finished with the this commit. Download PyGaze from GitHub to try it out.
