FPGA-based platform for the electronic control of microscopes.
Project description
Overview
MicroFPGA is an FPGA-based platform for the electronic control of microscopes. It aims at using affordable FPGA to generate or read signals from a variety of devices, including cameras, lasers, servomotors, filter-wheels, etc. It can be controlled via Micro-Manager, or its Java, Python and LabView communication libraries, and comes with optional complementary electronics.
Documentation and tutorials are available on https://mufpga.github.io/.
Content
This repository contains the Python package to control MicroFPGA. To use microfpga
in you Python environment, you can install it directly with pip
:
pip install microfpga
Alternatively, you can install it from the source code:
git clone https://github.com/mufpga/MicroFPGA-py
cd MicroFPGA-py
pip install -e .
Finally, configure your Alchitry FPGA with the correct configuration and try some of the example scripts.
