Lab Automation

The lab_automation app provides a set of tools for controlling laboratory equipment, including sensors, actuators, and various control algorithms.

Core Components

The app is organized into three main categories of components:

  • Sensors: Interfaces for reading data from hardware (e.g., temperature probes, cameras).
  • Actuators: Interfaces for sending commands to hardware (e.g., pumps, stirrers, heaters).
  • Controllers: Algorithms that process sensor data to determine the appropriate actuator output.
  • Devices: High-level objects that combine sensors, actuators, and controllers into a unified interface (e.g., a stirring hot plate).
