Introduction

This project is a Python toolbox for managing biological experiment devices (pumps, cell density detectors etc.) and setting up experiments. Communication protocol is specific for devices produced by my lab in Institute of Protein Research RAS, so it may not be suitable for other devices, but you can easily adapt it for your needs by overriding corresponding methods. The toolbox is designed to be easily extensible and customizable.

Features

• Abstraction above COM-port communication
• Automatic device discovery
• High-level API for device control
• Easy-to-use experiment setup
• Scrupulous logging
• Real-time data streaming via WebSocket
• Graphical user interface (in development)
