Re: Wheatstone bridge saturation error

Hi Again, Yes, the load cells work fine when connected to other WBs (I have also checked wires, connections, ports in the VINT etc) so the problem is with the WBs. Both channels in the WBs have the saturation error message, even if a load cell is only connected to one. Also to update you: I tried th...

Wheatstone bridge saturation error

Hi there, I have been using Wheatstone bridges to measure the voltage ratio input from load cells. After a small amount of use now 2/5 of my Wheatstone bridges are giving saturation error messages when I open the Phidget control panel, and won't work with my task. I have checked cables, load cells e...

Improving sampling rate from wheatstone bridge w. 2 channels

Hi there, I am collecting Voltage Ratio info from multiple VINT hub ports simultaneously. Some ports get info from a Wheatstone bridge with just one channel attached, others are linked to Wheatstone bridges with two samples. I have noticed a big difference in sampling rate, where the inputs from the...

Re: Efficient interfacing with Psychopy

Im afraid I don't follow. I thought that you did not need to declare variables in Python? If I set the variable to a value outside of the Event then it appears to be fixed as this value. If I print the variable inside the event handler then I get the up-to-date value, but if I print it from outside ...

Re: Efficient interfacing with Psychopy

Thanks for the quick reply

I can see how that would allow me to use the variable in the event, but what I need is for the variable created inside the event (i.e. the position of the shape) to always be present outside the event. Is it possible to pass variables out of the event?

Efficient interfacing with Psychopy

Hi there, I am new to working with Phidgets and with Python so this question may be very basic. I am attempting to write a program which takes voltage ratio info from 5 sensors (one for each finger) and uses this to control the position of a shape presented on screen using Psychopy. I have a working...
