microsync — Python driver for microscope synchronization device
Python driver for microsync — a universal 32-bit Arduino Due-based triggering device. Control lasers, cameras, and timing with microsecond precision.
- Full documentation: stjude-smc.github.io/microsync
- Repository: github.com/stjude-smc/microsync
Install
Requires Python 3.7+ and pyserial (installed automatically):
pip install microsync
Quick start
Upload the microsync firmware to an Arduino Due, then:
from microsync import SyncDevice
sd = SyncDevice("COM4") # or "/dev/ttyUSB0" on Linux
sd.pos_pulse("D8", 1000, ts=1000) # 1 ms pulse on D8 after 1 ms delay
sd.go()
Features
- Microsecond-precision event scheduling (pulses, toggles, camera triggers)
- Laser shutter and interlock safety logic
- Acquisition modes: continuous, stroboscopic, ALEX
- Interactive event visualization (Bokeh)
- Context manager for jitter-free batch commands
