Pellet Dispenser

The Pellet Dispenser component allows one single dispense action in a routine. By default it starts the dispense action with the component, and terminate the routine when the dispense action is done. Due to the impredictable timing of the dispense action (several attempt will be made by the device in case of jamming), it is preferable to use a routine to the sole purpose of the dispensing action.

The examples directory contains .psyexp files that show how you can integrate the pellet dispenser.
