The tracking-plugin repository contains everything you need to integrate animal tracking in open-field experiments in the Open Ephys system (http://www.open-ephys.org/). We also provide a Bonsai script (http://bonsai-rx.org/) to extract LED position from a Pointgrey camera and input the tracking data in the Open Ephys GUI.
To install the plugin, copy the Tracking folder in the Sources/Plugins folder of the Open Ephys GUI and follow these steps: Installation - Open Ephys GUI
The Tracking Port plugin allows to stream tracking data into the GUI. The data are streamed from an OSC (Open Sound Message) server and each packet contains 4 floats: x, y positions, width, and height of the field.
Add and delete new sources using the + and - buttons. Set the port, address, and choose the color from the dropdown list of colors available.
Note that the Tracking Port only support 'localhost' at the moment.
The Tracking Visualizer displays the tracking data received from the Tracking Port (or any other plugin sending Tracking Data binary events) in real-time. The available Tracking Data sources are shown in the Sources list box on the left and multiple selection is allowed. The clear button clears the path trajectories. Note that by clicking the clear button the data are not lost, as they are saved by the Tracking Port plugin.
