(i'ts attached with the name jSSC.jar.txt as gmail blocks it otherwise) 2) it is built with ant 3) I have also attached the startup scripts to call it, startOpenBCI.bat and startOpenBCI.sh Also FYI: I have attached a zip of the code for a java based implementation of a fieldtrip buffer server. We use this for cross-platform independence -- particularly because it runs directly on android (and we have some extra android wrapper applications etc. if you are interested.)

Robert Oostenveld - 2015-08-17 09:01:32 +0200

I have mentioned the java buffer server on http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/development/realtime/buffer_java. There should be more documentation, including a description how to compile and start it (which I have not managed to do yet). I have mentioned the openbci implementation on http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/development/realtime/openbci


Robert Oostenveld - 2015-08-17 09:02:33 +0200

To do: it would be good to sit down with Jason to figure out and document what is needed to use the java implementations on a standard computer (i.e. not his computer).

Created attachment 729 v1.5 buffer-client jar


Jason Farquhar - 2015-08-26 14:13:08 +0200

(In reply to Robert Oostenveld from comment #2) This code set is built using apache ANT which is a standard java build tool (think Make but platform independent.) With ant installed type ant in the directory to build -- however the configuration file build.xml will need to be modified to point to the BufferClient.jar file for the buffer connection library. Also the code did not run because it was built targeting java 7. Attached is another version targeting java 1.4 which should run on all machines. Note though to run you (again) need the BufferClient.jar file also. Assuming it is in the lib directory you can run using: java -cp lib/BufferClient.jar:lib/jssc.jar:openBCI2ft.jar openBCI2ft

Created attachment 730 v1.5 buffer-server jar


Jason Farquhar - 2015-08-26 14:14:59 +0200

The build environment is based on ANT with the config in build.xml. The jar version was for java 7. Attached is a version for java 1.5 which should run on most/all machines.

mac011> cd ~/fieldtrip/realtime/src mac011> find . -name build.xml ./acquisition/openbci/java/build.xml Am I correct that ANT is required for the openbci java implementation, but not for the other java code that lives under ~/fieldtrip/realtime/src/buffer/java? Perhaps we have to reorganise the java source code of certain tools. Perhaps we should also start distributing jar files, just like we are distributing "exe" files. Should we consider a fieldtrip/realtime/bin/java directory, alongside teh system-specific binaries? I would like to have an instruction on the relevant wiki pages for the use the java code, like the one at http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/development/realtime/buffer_java?&#compilation

Created attachment 732 build script for the java buffer server


Jason Farquhar - 2015-08-26 15:39:35 +0200

(In reply to Robert Oostenveld from comment #12) Ant is required simply to build the files (like make for the c versions.) Attached is a build.xml for the buffer server code to go in the fieldtrip/realtime/src/buffer/java/bufferserver directory. If you put it there and run ant (from that directory) it should rebuild fully.

(In reply to Robert Oostenveld from comment #15) this was actually my fault.

you wrote in your email that you also included startOpenBCI.bat and startOpenBCI.sh, but I have not been able to find them. Consequently, I still don't know how to start it. (Sorry that I am such a Java noob)

(In reply to Robert Oostenveld from comment #16) Hi Actually, the build file was still buggy. Attached is an updated working one. If it works then you should be able to start the server with: java -jar BufferServer.jar 1972

(In reply to Robert Oostenveld from comment #17) Attached are the startup scripts for the openBCI2ft.jar (Note you need to ensure BufferClient.jar is in the indicated place.)


Robert Oostenveld - 2015-08-26 17:26:02 +0200

(In reply to Jason Farquhar from comment #22) I think we should split code (development) from runtime executables (production). how about fieldtrip/realtime/bin/java/OpenBCI.jar fieldtrip/realtime/bin/java/startOpenBCI.sh fieldtrip/realtime/bin/java/startOpenBCI.bat and fieldtrip/realtime/bin/java/BufferServer.jar fieldtrip/realtime/bin/java/startBufferServer.sh fieldtrip/realtime/bin/java/startBufferServer.bat etc. and making that consistent for all java code? I am also fine with using ANT consistently (i.e. also for the other code) with a build.xml if that makes deployment easier. How should the other code be organised? Now most us under fieldtrip/realtime/src/java, including some utilities. And some is under fieldtrip/realtime/src/acquisition/openbci/java. Should the utilities that can be executed not all be under fieldtrip/realtime/src/utilities? Or should we split it in another way, e.g. make a fieldtrip/realtime/src/java directory (like there is an arduino directory) and move all java code there? I am not happy about it being so scattered. We could go for fieldtrip/realtime/src/java/OpenBCI fieldtrip/realtime/src/java/BufferServer fieldtrip/realtime/src/java/AudioToBuffer fieldtrip/realtime/src/java/MarkerGUI fieldtrip/realtime/src/java/MidiToBuffer fieldtrip/realtime/src/java/testclient directories, each with the respective code in it (some only a single file, some multiple), each with a build.xml and each with a jar/sh/bat triplet that is located in fieldtrip/realtime/bin/java.. Although, I realise that AudioToBuffer.java, MarkerGUI.java and MidiToBuffer.java all make use of the existing fieldtrip/realtime/src/buffer/java/nl/fcdonders/fieldtrip directory content. Ideas?


Robert Oostenveld - 2015-08-26 17:28:23 +0200

(In reply to Robert Oostenveld from comment #24) perhaps something for me to try and understand better: in which cases would one put java code (i.e. *.java files) in a structure like nl.fcdonders.fieldtrip and ion which case does one use a structure like you have in fieldtrip/realtime/src/buffer/java/bufferserver? Is there a technical reason, or is it a matter of (different) conventions?


Robert Oostenveld - 2018-11-08 14:02:09 +0100

I don't think that there is any further work to be expected here, so lets close it.
