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/.

This repository contains the Java package to control MicroFPGA. To use Microfpga in you Java project, you can download the compiled .jar or build it from source using maven:

mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true

This repository also contains examples on how to use MicroFPGA.
