contents NEW TECHNOLOGIES APPLIED TO OPERANT RESEARCH: INEXPENSIVE PHOTOCELLS FOR THE ARDUINO-VISUAL BASIC INTERFACE Rogelio Escobar Nadia Santillán Psicología Arduino interface photocells Visual Basic instrumentation In recent years, technological advances in electronics have been applied for de - signing flexible and inexpensive interfaces for recording and controlling events in operant research. One example, tested for accuracy and reliability, uses the popular Arduino microcontroller boards in combination with Visual Basic Express Edition programming. This paper describes one of the applications of the Arduino-Visual Basic interface to record movement using photocells. Each photocell uses a pho - totransistor, and an infrared LED , and allows recording the interruption of the light emitted by the infrared LED . Such interruptions are detected as responses, and are used to schedule experimental events in Visual Basic programs. These photocells can be used in diverse experimental settings under varied conditions of illumination and distances without changing the hardware setup. Programs for calibrating and using the photocells can be freely downloaded and modified by the users. This set - up can also be used for recording discrete responses using other sensors like force and flexion sensors. 2017 artículo científico 0185-4534 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=59353652007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=593 Revista Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta Revista Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta (México) Num.2 Vol.43
