UniteLabs Connector Development Framework
The UniteLabs Connector Development Framework (CDK) is a free and open-source framework that enables you to build connectors for laboratory hard- and software systems with interfaces that are based on industry standards like SiLA 2. If you plan on implementing an interface natively for your device or as wrapper around an existing proprietary interface, you can use this framework to get it built quickly without deep-diving into the standard specifications with our intuitive, code-first approach. It provides configurable modules you can use to quickly integrate the hardware or software you want to connect.
Installation
The UniteLabs CDK requires Python 3.9 or later. To get started quickly, we recommend to get started with our cookiecutter starter project:
$ cruft create git@gitlab.com:unitelabs/cdk/connector-factory.git
$ cd <my-connector-name>
$ <env-manager> run connector start -vvv
where here env-manager would be poetry, hatch, or uv.
You can also manually create a new project from scratch and install the framework with pip. In this case, of course, you'll be responsible for creating the project boilerplate files yourself.
$ pip install unitelabs-cdk
