Using DirectRT / MediaLab with a Button Box

[JEC]

[edited from support email]

We've ordered some button boxes from you but we want to begin programming our experiment before the hardware arrives. How should we proceed?

The button boxes appear to your computer as a regular QWERTY keyboard. In almost every case, we program them to output the characters [1 9] (for example, on our 9 button boxes) from left to right.

So if you write your script to work with regular numerical input from a keyboard, the button boxes will also work when they arrive.
