# triggerino
Arduino based mock trigger device to use for developing fMRI stimulation code (in case you need to sync your stimulation with the MRI triggers).
---
Basic use: while the button is pressed, it will flash the led and send a letter (e.g., a 't') every x msec (e.g., 1800 msec) to the connected computer.
## Code
In `triggerino.ino` set the trigger key and the TR according to your need (see example below)
``` c++
// set trigger key
char triggerKey = 't';
// set TR in msec
int TR = 1800;
```
## Circuit
Elements you need:
- Arduino Leonardo (compared to the classic Arduino UNO, computers and Matlab see it as an external keyboard)
- micro USB cable
- breadboard
- 6 jumpers
- 1 basic led
- 1 basic button
- 2 resistors (220 Ω and 10 kΩ)
## How to use it
`sandbox_getTrigger.m` is a PsychtoolbBox based script that waits for the Arduino input (a keyboard stroke) to do something.
