running render.py under windows 7 with python library

[cminus]

Hi,

I am a student working on the EPOC BCI. I'm trying to make the python code run under windows 7. I've succeeded up to the render.py file.

Everything works (but I made a few arrangements in emotiv's code), I found my key, my PID/VID pair, my serial number if I want... But when I run the render.py file, pygame just open an empty window with a white square in the middle. I've understood that it is normal (pygame.draw.rect(screen, (255, 0, 0), (curX-5, curY-5, 5, 5), 10)), but I can't see the graphics and I don't know how to access the datas from the headset so that I could use them for an other treatment (with matlab as an example).

I must confess that I am a newby in python, it's the first time I use it. But, according to me, it seems that these lines are not executed :

for packet in emotiv.dequeue():

        updated = True
        if abs(packet.gyroX) > 1:
            curX -= packet.gyroX - 1
        if abs(packet.gyroY) > 1:
            curY += packet.gyroY
        curX = max(0, min(curX, 800))
        curY = max(0, min(curY, 600))
        gdemo = emotiv.gotData(name)
        pyplot.plot(gdemo)
        map(lambda x: x.update(packet), graphers)
        print ('packet is in dequeue')

I also would like to be able to record the incomming datas into a file. Does anyone knows how to do so?

Thank you.

Closing as dupe of #37, where we'll hopefully just overhaul things completely.
