response unit for E-prime 2.0 Professional with ERP hardware

[ben robinson]

i've used a couple different USB controllers for this purpose over the
years.  they're so much cheaper than the cedrus boxes or the pst response
boxes.both controllers i've used, and i would imagine all controllers of
this type, have an accompanying driver which you download from the
manufacturer's website and which allows you to assign a value to the various
controller buttons.  presses on the controller mimic keyboard button
presses, so all you need to do in eprime is set the object collecting
responses to look for a keyboard response (as opposed to a response from a
mouse or a pst response box).  for instance, set the object to accept '0' or
'1', and then assign one button on the controller to be '0' and the other to
be '1', turn off all the other buttons, and you're good to go.
pretty straight forward.
