I've personally never used Cedrus, but they seem ok, although expensive. I mainly use either the srbox-compatible device that @Jarik builds for his department (but these are not for sale I think) or a Boks. The Boks, a project that I was involved in…

Hi Chip, To indicate that a string is a variable name, rather than a literal string, you put square brackets around it. Like so: draw image center=1 file="cue.png" scale=1.5 show_if=always x=[trialxcoord] y=[trialycoord] z_index=0 In ad…

I agree with @Jarik: I don't see how all the Chronos' functionality (especially voice streaming) can be handled by the original SR Box protocol. Personally, I wouldn't buy this device. I'm sure it's nice and all, but PST will probably never reveal …

Hi Cyril, I see what you mean--thanks. Fyi, @Pascal Kieslich and Felix Henninger have developed two pretty awesome mouse-tracking plug-ins: * http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/devices/mouse-tracking/ Using these is probably easier than following the mouse-t…

You could use for example http://pastebin.com.

Problem resolved! It was due to the portable packages. I had assumed that the JASP installer simply copies the same 32 bit version of JASP to every system, and hence that I could simply zip the JASP program folder. But apparently the JASP installer…

We are having trouble running JASP on the university computers. These are Windows 7 professionnel 2009 service pack 1, 32 bit, French. It occurs with the portable (see above) packages of both versions of JASP. We cannot try the .exe installer due to…

(Quote) The (very common) mistake that you're making is thinking that the problem lies in how the file is written, whereas it lies in how you're reading it. The OpenSesame log file is fine, but it's utf-8 encoded. If it looks funny, this is because …

I suspect the bad guy is here: sockExtAPI.send(message) In your case, message is a unicode object, which will be automatically converted to a str object. Kind of like this: _message = str(message)sockExtAPI.send(_message) And this goes wrong, be…

Hi Stefan, I suspect that this bit: 'Word_' + var.word ... works fine, and returns a unicode object (e.g. u'Word_glücklich'). You can try this by just doing the concatenation on it's own, not embedded in a larger command. So the question is: Wha…

Hi Céline, This sounds like a situation for the coroutines plug-in, which is described here (and needs to be installed separately): * http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/usage/coroutines/ Essentially, you want to do two things simultaneously: * Collect a key…
-
Hi, This message means that the video card/ drivers on your computer do not support OpenGL, which is the library that OpenSesame uses by default to present visual stimuli. You can work around this by using the legacy backend, which doesn't use Open…
-
Hi, To help figure this out, could you provide some more information? What exactly happens? * Does the crash always occur at the same moment in the experiment, and, if so, when? * What happens exactly when the crash occurs? Does OpenSesame close e…

Hi, I suspect that the VLC Python module cannot find the VLC player, because it doesn't look in C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC. Does it work if you move the VLC player to C:\VideoLAN\VLC? Cheers, Sebastiaan

Hi Eglantine, It sounds like you're using forms in combination with the xpyriment or psycho backend; this can indeed result in horrible performance. However, in most cases switching to the legacy backend resolves this. * http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/for…

Hi Sofia, It's difficult to say what might be wrong. Perhaps the data is corrupt, perhaps the sample data wasn't logged (it is by default, but you can disable it), or perhaps something else. Could you upload one of the problematic data files somewh…

Hi Neon, This is due to an incorrect import of PIL. Previously, PIL contained a hack that allowed imports like this: import Imageimport ImageDraw But the safe, and in some installations only, way to do it is like this: from PIL import Imagefrom …

You came quite a long way, congrats! (Quote) No, that's fine. If you have a good internet connection, that is, using an ethernet cable, UDP sockets are really fast. If you go through WiFi it will be a bit less reliable, but we're still talking abou…

Hi Florian, In principle, any Android 2.3 or higher device should work. I personally have a Nexus 9, which is pretty awesome, and which I know works fine with the OpenSesame runtime for Android. On the cheaper end of the spectrum, I'm also quite ha…

Good to hear!

Hi Rotem, PsychoPy has been updated between the 2.8 and 3.0 series, and I suspect that there have been some changes to the behavior of the DotStim. * Regarding the speed. The way you've implemented it right now, the DotStim simply moves as fast as…
-
Hi Tali, That this is such an unpredictable error, and that you're using the parallel plug-in, suggests that this plug-in is the source of the problem. (Although it's not obvious how.) The parallel plug-in is notoriously unreliable because of the …

(Quote) I'm afraid not. Running Python in a browser isn't really possible, at least not in the way needed for OpenSesame. (There are IPython notebooks and Skulpt, but they don't really fit the bill.) If you're looking for open-source, online survey…
-
Just to elaborate on what @Josh said (which is correct): The EyeTribe has a server that runs in the background, and which OpenSesame (or rather PyGaze) connects to. Usually, the server runs on the same computer as OpenSesame, but it doesn't need to.…
-
Hi, The documentation is outdated (and should be updated--note to self). Recent versions of OpenSesame require a few extra dependencies, such as QProgEdit. All the dependencies are listed here: * http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/getting-opensesame/running-f…

(Quote) Thanks for pointing this out. Indeed, I changed something that broke the Windows recommended download link. (And I hadn't noticed.) (Quote) Yes, that's a known issue: Detection fails on some os+browser configurations (e.g. Firefox on Linux)…

Hi, The OpenSesame runtime for Android only accepts ASCII input, that is, only latin characters without accents. (This only applies to the Android runtime; on other platforms you can also enter non-ASCII text.) This is a pretty serious limitation, …
-
(Image) The only downside is that your experiment becomes a bit less portable; that is, it consists of multiple files instead of just one. But if you have a large pool then it's definitely a good idea to put the files in the experiment folder to a…
-
Hi, The easiest way to do this is to change the font to chinese-japanese-korean in the general-properties tab of your experiment. Once you've done this, this font should be used everywhere, unless otherwise indicated. For me, Japanese characters di…

Hi Leo, It's difficult to tell what's going on based on your description. Could you post the entire experiment script (for example to http://pastebin.com/)? Cheers and happy 2016! Sebastiaan
