Connection Issues

Hi,

I'm excited to start learning what BCI2000 can do. I'm on a 64 bit windows 7 machine with a g.USBamp which according to the system log has a 3.2 driver and is currently functioning correctly with MATlab/simulink. However, when I'm trying to start an app in BCI2000 for instance gUSBampSource/P3SignalProcessing/P3Speller after I Choose SetConfig I receive a series of connection error statements as shown below:

2016-02-03T21:20:04 - Application: Could not make a connection to the SignalSource module.
2016-02-03T21:20:04 - SignalSource: Could not make a connection to the SignalProcessing module.
2016-02-03T21:20:04 - SignalProcessing: Could not make a connection to the Application module.
2016-02-03T21:20:04 - DataIOFilter::Preflight: gUSBampADC::Preflight: g.USBamp driver version = 3.2.
2016-02-03T21:20:04 - DataIOFilter::Preflight: gUSBampADC::Preflight: Detected gUSBamp with DeviceID UB-2014.04.24.
2016-02-03T21:20:04 - SignalSource: Could not send output properties to SignalProcessing module.
2016-02-03T21:20:04 - DataIOFilter::Initialize: gUSBampADC::Initialize: Detected gUSBamp with DeviceID UB-2014.04.24.
2016-02-03T21:20:06 - SignalSource: Application dropped connection unexpectedly.

Any thoughts to what might be going wrong? It seems my correct .dll driver is in the 64syswow folder and that the driver in the bci2000/prog file is not present. Earlier posts suggested a MicrosoftTV/Network Video something or other which doesn't appear to be a thing anymore. Not sure what next.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

In addition, today I allowed the gUSBampSource/P3SignalProcessing/P3Speller and BCI2000 launcher executables through the Windows Firewall and the very similar but slightly different error was reported in the System Log:

2016-02-04T12:31:59 - BCI2000 Started

If I'm posting in the wrong place, or if there's a lack of information important to understand this issue, please let me know how I can better communicate, or perhaps if this just seems too obvious maybe someone could help point me in a direction to the resources. I'm searching around so far unsuccessfully.

Thank you

Ngubser,

as you have already disabled the Windows firewall this points towards some other process that either blocks the BCI2000 ports or already occupies them. Can you confirm that you are using the latest BCI2000 v3.6 beta binaries [1]? If this does not resolve the issue, please download and "teamviewer quicksupport for windows". Please send me the teamviewer ID and PW in a private email. I will try to take a look at the issue from remote then.

Regards, Peter

Thank you very much for your response and offer to help. Although my install was only a few days old I reinstalled, and then allowed every executable file in the /prog sub-directory access through my firewall and this seems to have done the trick. I imagine then I probably wouldn't have needed the reinstall, but didn't check separately.

I'm really happy about how customizable the speller seems to be.

Thanks again!

Ngubser,

you are welcome. I am glad that BCI2000 is now working for you. Do not hesitate to post any issues that you experience, especially with the v3.6 beta.
