Description
When no Bpod device is found, the user can launch the Bpod software in emulator mode.
BpodSystem.EmulatorMode is automatically set to 0 in normal mode, and 1 in emulator mode.
Emulator mode is intended for protocol development; timing data and sound / visual display timing may be imprecise depending on the platform.
Inputs are read and the hardware state is indicated on the Bpod console while running a state matrix.
When designing a protocol that can be run in emulator mode, block off code that interfaces with unavailable hardware (see example).
Example
% 1. This code connects to a remote TCP server using the SerialEthernet plugin, only if NOT in emulator mode.
if BpodSystem.EmulatorMode == 0
SerialEthernet('Init', 'COM65'); % Set this to the correct COM port for Arduino Leonardo
pause(1);
RemoteIP = [192 168 0 104]; RemotePort = 3336;
SerialEthernet('Connect', RemoteIP , RemotePort);
else
disp('Fake-connected to a fake TCP server')
end
