The buttonbox is used for time accurate(1ms) button press registration. We use it to register buttonpresses, soundkey, voicekey signals and to send tone onset, analog output, triggers with the BITSI protocol. It is suitable for Behavioral, EEG, MEG, and fMRI experiments. The buttonbox is connected to a computer with a usb connection.

The output connector has two binary eight bit ports: input and output. The two ports can be used for responses (input) and stimulus triggers (output). Two 12 bits analog outputs and three 12 bits analog inputs. The output connector has a sound and voicekey which triggers when a amplitude reaches a threshold. By using the serial port, the BITSI can be used platform independently: it works on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. Most programming environments and stimulus packages support serial communication.

There is currently a [[Microsoft Windows driver issue]].

== BITSI Protocol ==

BITSI stands for Bits to Serial Interface. Because the BITSI is designed to interface both in- and output signals, the 'protocol' is asymmetric: the input and output protocols differ.

===Input===

The input port can be used to interface eight buttons maximally. Button presses are translated to serial output characters/bytes according to the following table:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! scope="row" colspan="3" | BITSI Simple
|-
! scope="row" width="120px" | Signal/Button
! scope="row" width="120px" | ASCII (rise/fall)
! scope="row" width="120px" | Code (rise/fall)
|-
| 1 || A / a || 65 / 97
|-
| 2 || B / b || 66 / 98
|-
| 3 || C / c || 67 / 99
|-
| 4 || D / d || 68 / 100
|-
| 5 || E / e || 69 / 101
|-
| 6 || F / f || 70 / 102
|-
| 7 || G / g || 71 / 103
|-
| 8 || H / h || 72 / 104
|-
|}

This means that when signal 1 gets active(button press), a capital A will be sent to the serial port. A lowercase 'a' will be sent when the signal is deactivated(button release). Mechanical buttons can be connected directly.

===Output===

Output knows two protocols: '''BITSI simple''' or '''BITSI extended'''. To enter a certain protocol two buttons have to be pressed when the BITSIbox is powered or com port opens. '''[2015]Press button H and A for simple mode and H and B for extended mode. [2018]Press button E and A for simple mode and E and B for extended mode.'''

If no button is pressed when powered it boots the last known protocol. In the simple protocol every byte sent to the BITSI over the serial port, is represented at the 8 bit output.

The '''extended''' protocol uses two bytes(or two characters), this combination can access two analog outputs and a tone generator. The first byte selects the output. The second byte determines the value written to this output.

===Trigger port ===

[[File:Connector.png|thumb|300x300px|Schematic view of the 25 pins connector]]

The 25 pins female connector has 8 inputs and 8 outputs, respectively 1-8 are inputs and 9-16 are outputs. Three analog input with an analog to digital convertor of 12 bit, pins 17,18,20 and 21. Two analog outputs with an digital to analog convertor of 12 bits on pins 22 and 23.

The inputs 1-8 will be pulled down from 5V to GND when the buttons are pressed. The outputs 9-16 will be pulled up from GND to 5V when the output is activated.

===Serial port===

Our hardware design allows to be connected to the computers USB and emulates a serial communication Port.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Baudrate || 115200
|-
| Parity || None
|-
| Data bits || 8

|-
|}

=== USB-Com port ===

1.Connect the BITSIbox to your computer using the USB cable.

2.When you connect the BITSIbox, Windows should initiate the driver installation process (if you haven't used the computer with an BITSIbox board before).

3.On Windows Vista/7, the driver should be automatically downloaded and installed.

4.On Windows XP, the Add New Hardware wizard will open:

*When asked '''Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?''' select '''No, not this time'''. Click next.
*Select '''Install from a list or specified location (Advanced)''' and click next.
*Make sure that '''Search for the best driver in these locations''' is checked; uncheck '''Search removable media'''; check '''Include this location in the search''' and browse to the '''c:/beheer/arduino/drivers '''directory.
*The wizard will search for the driver and then tell you that a "USB Serial Converter" was found. Click finish.
*The new hardware wizard will appear again. Go through the same steps and select the same options and location to search. This time, a "USB Serial Port" will be found.

'''How to Check the Com Port settings(important!)'''

*From the Start menu, open the '''Control Panel'''.

*From the control panel, open the '''System window'''.

*From the system properties window, go to the '''Hardware tab''' and click the '''Device Manager''' button.

*From the Device Manager window, click '''Ports (Com&LPT).''' You should now be able to see which Com Port the USB adapter is assigned to.

*If the Com Port is 10 or higher, you will have to change it to a lower port.

*From the Device Manager window, click on '''USB Serial Port (Com#).''' Click the '''Port Settings tab''' of the USB Serial Port Properties window, and then click the '''Advanced''' button.

*In the Advanced Settings window, use the scroll input to select a '''Com Port''' (select 10 or lower). Change '''Receive (bytes)''' and '''Transmit (bytes)''' to 64. Change the '''Latency Timer''' to 1.

*Click the OK button.

Always connect the usb device to the same port and your settings will be remembered.

== Software Settings ==

=== Neurobs Presentation ===

The experiment files needs a few settings for the device to work:
* In the settings tab: port -> input port -> 1 must be the device that identifies itself as "Arduino Uno" in the device manager. Note that the port must have a number not higher than 10 (COM1-COM10). Use re-enumerate if it is higher.
* Rate must be set 115200, Parity to None, Data Bits to 8 and Stop Bits to 1, Uncheck FIFO Interrupt.

[[File:Buttonbox2.png]]

'''Testing Buttonbox'''

When pressing on the A button within the input channel tester. You will see the following ASCII code.

[[file:testbuttonbox.png]]

'''Adding Marker'''

[[file:output_buttonbox1.png | 800px]]

'''Testing Markers (output)'''

Send code 1 for Button A

[[file:output_buttonbox2.png]]

Button A will light up.

[[file:buttonboxledA.png | 200px]]

Send code 0 for clearing.

[[file:output_buttonbox3.png]]

'''Example PCL code you can program a handle to send a marker:'''

#handle:
output_port OutputPort = output_port_manager.get_port( 1 );

'''Example to send a marker:'''
OutputPort.send_code(100); #create a marker

% This example is for an EEG system sampling at 500Hz samplerate.
% at the start of your script, reset marker

bb.sendTrigger(0);
% send a marker

bb.sendTrigger(val);
java.lang.Thread.sleep(pulseLen); % wait long enough for the EEG system to capture the trigger, i.e., 2000/samplerate ms
% reset marker
bb.sendTrigger(0) % Note: if resetting the marker is not possible at this moment in code, you can decide to do this later as long as it has taken place long enough before the next marker has to be sent. Another solution using a timer object instead of a simple delay is outlined below.
</syntaxhighlight>

% At the start of your script, define timer object and callback function
pulseTime = 0.004; % trigger pulse duration in s. NB: extra time will be added due to overhead in calling Matlab functions related to the timer event.
resetMarker = timer('TimerFcn',@(x,y)bb.sendTrigger(0),'StartDelay',pulseTime);

% replace the code to send a marker with:
val = 1; % val: this is your marker code, range code 1-255
bb.sendTrigger(val);
resetMarker.start(); % this will call bb.sendTrigger(0) after pulseTime seconds (plus some additional overhead)
