laserstudio 1.1.0

Python3 software for hardware evaluation

Laser Studio

An open source python3 software designed to control hardware evaluation benches to conduct automatized evaluations.

Laser Studio permits to have a visual representation of a spatial environment, define zones of interests, and launch an automated scanning process to physically and randomly go through these zones, by controlling motion devices.

Installation

Laser Studio requires Python 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12 (requires-python is >=3.10,<3.13).

Install from PyPI:

pip install laserstudio

From a clone of the repository (current directory is the project root):

git clone https://github.com/Ledger-Donjon/laserstudio.git
cd laserstudio
pip install .

For local development, an editable install is convenient:

pip install -e .

With Poetry:

poetry install

Runtime dependencies

These packages are installed automatically with laserstudio (see pyproject.toml for exact version constraints):

Package	Role
PyQt6, PyQt6-Charts	GUI
pystages	Motion stages
Pillow, opencv-python	Imaging
PyYAML	Configuration
shapely, triangle	Geometry
requests	HTTP
numpy, scipy	Numerics
pypdm	PDM protocol
flask, flask-restx	REST API
hidapi	USB HID
colorama	Terminal colors
hyshlr, pylmscontroller	Ledger hardware integration

Optional dependency groups

Extras are defined in pyproject.toml under [project.optional-dependencies]:

Extra	Purpose	Install
test	Unit tests (pytest, pytest-cov)	pip install laserstudio[test]
lint	Static typing (mypy and stubs)	pip install laserstudio[lint]
docs	Building documentation (Sphinx, RTD theme, MyST)	pip install laserstudio[docs]

From a clone, combine extras, for example:

pip install -e ".[test,lint,docs]"

NIT cameras (optional)

Support for New Imaging Technologies cameras uses pynit, which is not declared as a PyPI dependency (licensing / packaging constraints). Install it only if you need that hardware:

pip install git+https://github.com/Ledger-Donjon/pynit.git

(Your team may use SSH, a private package index, or an internal build instead.)

Usage

To run Laser Studio, open a terminal and run Laser Studio with the following command:

laserstudio
