#Hamilton starlet windows#

We are working to recreate the Venus application (which runs on Windows and which PyHamilton depends on in turn) as a Python library, so that PyHamilton will effectively become OS-agnostic. PyHamilton for Linux: One of the biggest limitations for PyHamilton, Hamilton robots, and much of lab automation in general is their exclusive dependence on Windows as an operating system.This project is in its very early stages so collaborators will have the opportunity to influence crucial design decisions. PyHamilton for Nimbus: Right now PyHamilton only works on the STAR line of liquid-handling robots, but we have recently received the appropriate libraries for expanding the framework to Hamilton Nimbus, a much more affordable and low-footprint robot.PyHamilton is an open-source project, and we have a ton of work to do! If you'd like to contribute to the PyHamilton project, please consider these following areas of ongoing work and don't hesitate to reach out if you want to discuss collaborating with the team. Please see the list of Ongoing Projects for information on other issues with PyHamilton Ongoing Projects

See this StackOverflow thread for more details. dlls referenced in _init_.py are unblocked. Make sure you don't have any other program running which is communicating with the robot e.g. If your initialization hangs (such as on initial_error_example.py), try these steps:Ī. If you would like to test your PyHamilton installation on a computer not connected to a Hamilton robot, use HamiltonInterface(simulate=True) to open your interface inside your robot script. If you encounter an error relating to HxFan (i.e., your robot does not have a fan), open pyhamilton/star-oem/VENUS_Method/STAR_OEM_d, navigate to the 'HxFan' grouping, and delete all commands under this grouping. If you have other Python versions installed, always run pyhamilton with py yourmethod.py (the bundled Python launcher, which interprets shebangs) or python3 yourmethod.py Press accept to proceed with the bundled installers.
