A python package that can be installed on an OT3 to support hardware tests implemented as protocols.
This package will be built on a PC/Mac and pushed to an OT3 using make push.
- An OT3 with usual set of Opentrons software installed.
- An installed version of
hardware_testingon the OT3. - The Opentrons app.
Contains the actual protocols the operators will run to perform various tests.
The aim is that the protocols are as small as possible.
Miscellaneous development scripts.
The root of the package.
Methods for managing data files generated during a test. Includes creating unique folders, file names, and writing/appending to CSV files.
There are external sensors and other hardware that can be shared between tests. This will be home of drivers to third party hardware used in testing.
Per-test implementation details are stored here. For example, defining number of cycles, samples, volumes, durations, etc.
Handles the loading and configuring of opentrons labware used in each test. Different LabwareLayouts are available to be used, each containing a pre-defined set of items used for a given test.
Liquid functionality provides two main benefits: 1) liquid-level tracking, and 2) liquid-class parameterization.
Use hardware_testing.liquid.height to automatically tracking volumes and liquid heights throughout a test run, based on the protocol's procedure and its labwares' inner geometries.
Use hardware_testing.liquid.liquid_class to define liquid class parameters given a specific liquid-pipette-tip combination.
Scripts and methods for running gravimetric and photometric tests
Classes and methods for measuring aspects of a test. Currently just implements a weight measurement, but should also include distance (eg: dial-indicator), temperature (eg: thermocouple), and more.
Helpers and workarounds for when using the opentrons Python package.
Handles motion and pipetting logic/commands. Given a liquid class, will pipette according to the liquid class definition.
Miscellaneous tools. Currently, holds a server which serves the real-time scale visualization script.
