How to build a BioRadio Source Module without Borland C++

[dyd1985]

Hello,

I've recently downloaded the latest source code of BCI2000. I followed the instructions and I had no troubles at all in building the whole software using CMAKE, Qt SDK and Visual C++ 2008.
Now I'd like to add to the software tool a BioRadio150 source module in order to connect the device with BCI2000 and perform some BCI experiments. I tried to build this source module using the source code present in the source/contrib folder of the BCI2000 distribution... I modified the cmake file in order to be able to add this module to the Visual C++ project with all the other parts of the BCI2000 project, but when I try to build it I get an error, only for this module... My compiler can't find the VCL libraries... I've attahed the error message displayed.

..\..\..\..\src\contrib\SignalSource\BioRadio\BioRadio.cpp(7) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'vcl.h': No such file or directory
1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\BCI\build\contrib\SignalSource\BioRadio\BioRadio.dir\Debug\BuildLog.htm"

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I updated the BioRadio source module to the most recent version of the SDK, in order to make it work with MSVC. The source module should compile and link now, but it is untested.

Dear Juergen,

thank you very much for your answer and your updates. I successfully compiled and built the source code you updated.

I'm sorry for bothering you again, but I need further help to make the BioRadio work with BCI2000.

In order to start some acquisitions I'm trying to launch the following modules:

Operator
Dummy Signal Processing
Stimulus Prsentation
BioRadio

Then I configured the parameters with channels gain, offset, COM port and but I'm not sure, the path to a .ini file generated by CaptureLite (BioRadio software).
Anyway when I push the setconfig button the operator interface just stays still, but if I use task manager I can see that BioRadio.exe is running...

I've tried to do the procedure described above either with CaptureLite running or without using it.

Thanks a lot for your help and your availability.

Dear Alessandro,

unfortunately I don't have a BioRadio device available, so I cannot debug the BioRadio source module.

I can send you the compiled version of the previous BioRadio source module to try, it should work with V3 modules. For this, I would need your e-mail address: Click the "pm" button below this message to send me a message with your e-mail address.

Best regards,
