Electrophysiology Manipulator Link
The Electrophysiology Manipulator Link (or Ephys Link for short) is a Python Socket.IO server that allows any Socket.IO-compliant application (such as Pinpoint) to communicate with manipulators used in electrophysiology experiments.
Installation
Pinpoint (Recommended)
Pinpoint comes bundled with the correct version of Ephys Link. If you are using Pinpoint on the same computer your manipulators are connected to, you can launch the server from within Pinpoint. See the documentation on connecting from Pinpoint.
Install as a Standalone Executable
Download the latest standalone executable or zip from the releases page.
Then see the usage documentation for how to run the server.
Documentation and More Information
Complete documentation including how to add manipulators and API usage can be found on Ephys Link's Documentation Website.
Citing
If this project is used as part of a research project you should cite the Pinpoint repository. Please email Dan (dbirman@uw.edu) if you have questions.
Please reach out to Kenneth (kjy5@uw.edu) for questions about the Electrophysiology Manipulator Link server. Bugs may be reported through the issues tab.
