Example Usage:

dev = MouseJoystickInterface() # Might automatically find devices if available
# if devices not found automatically, specify ports directly
dev = MouseJoystickInterface(use_ports=['/dev/ttyACM0','/dev/ttyACM0']) # Linux specific ports
dev = MouseJoystickInterface(use_ports=['/dev/tty.usbmodem262471','/dev/tty.usbmodem262472']) # Mac OS X specific ports
dev = MouseJoystickInterface(use_ports=['COM3','COM4']) # Windows specific ports
# abort_assay prematurely stops a running assay and leaves the rig ready to start a new assay
dev.abort_assay()
# start_assay is the main method that starts the assay, collects assay data, and saves data files
dev.start_assay()

# optional mouse_joystick_controller methods
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.set_properties_to_defaults(['ALL'])
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.get_property_values(['ALL'])
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.reach_position1_means('getValue')
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.reach_position1_means('setValue',[100,160,200])
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.reach_position1_means('setArrayLength',2)
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.reach_position1_means('setValue',[100,200])
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.trial_count('setValue',3)
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.repeat_aborted_trial('setValue',False)
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.get_assay_status()
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.move_joystick_to_base_position()
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.move_joystick_to_reach_position()
count = 1
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.activate_lickport(count)
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.get_trial_timing_data()
dev.mouse_joystick_controller.abort_trial()

# optional encoder_interface methods
dev.encoder_interface.set_properties_to_defaults(['ALL'])
dev.encoder_interface.get_property_values(['ALL'])
dev.encoder_interface.sample_period('setValue',15)
dev.encoder_interface.get_positions()
dev.encoder_interface.get_sample_count()
dev.encoder_interface.get_samples()
