Acknowledgements: This driver was written by Tom Stewart under the supervision of Dr. Tomasz M. Rutkowski in the University of Tsukuba's BCI Laboratory http://bci-lab.info/ Installation: The driver was developed using gtec's Linux C API 1.14.02. For it build properly, the install.sh supplied with the gtec API needs to have been run which should have created the following files: /usr/lib/libgusbampapiso.so.1.14.02 /usr/include/gAPI.h /etc/gtec/filter_files/DSPfilter.bin /etc/gtec/filter_files/DSPNotchfilter.bin To access the USB without being root, you'll need to add yourself to the plugdev group and write a udev rule. To do that, first check if there is a plugdev group: $ groups If there isn't already a plugdev group, then add it using: $ sudo groupadd plugdev Now execute the following: $ sudo usermod -a -G plugdev If you're not sure what your username is, check it with: $ whoami Next create a file named /etc/udev/rules.d/10-gusbamp-usb.rules $ sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/10-gusbamp-usb.rules And open it with nano editor $ sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/10-gusbamp-usb.rules Now paste the following line into the editor: ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", ATTRS{idVendor}=="153c", MODE="666", GROUP="plugdev" The values for idProduct and idVendor should match the ones that show up just after you've plugged in the amplifier and executed: $ dmesg Lastly, be sure to log out and back in. Useage: The driver gives access to everything in the API with the exception of the channel calibration and asynchronous configuration for digital outputs. To run multiple gUSBAmps in parallel, use multiple instances of the acquisition server and configure each instance as Master / Slave according to gtec's documentation. When starting the acquisition, first connect to all the devices then press play on each device starting with the master.
