Microscope Shell - derangedhk417/MicroscopeControl GitHub Wiki

This program provides a command line interface for most of the useful microscope related functionality contained in this repo.

Note: This program won't work correctly if PixelLink Capture is running at the same time.

Usage

When you run MicroscopeShell.py, it will attempt to connect to the Camera, Stage and Zoom/Focus controller. When it finishes connecting to them, it will present you with a prompt. You can type commands into this prompt in order to control the microscope. You can also move the stage using the Joystick at any point in this process.

This program will spawn a separate thread that will try to read an image from the camera 25 times per second and display it on screen.

Note: Type ? and hit enter to see a list of valid commands.
