Eyelink
installing
- Use the debian repository deb http://download.sr-support.com/x64 /, Instruction and install eyelink.
- Copy pylink folder to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
- Make a manual network connection to the ip-address that the eyelink uses for 'others' (not for camera). This is usually 100.1.1.1 or 10.0.0.1. Set up routes if you want to keep your old connection as well.
