pymodaq_plugins_ftirjm

Specific PyMoDAQ extension for JM Poumirol's FTIR at CEMES lab, meant to be driven from a Raspberry Pi touch screen. Targets PyMoDAQ 5.3.x (Python 3.10 to 3.13).

Extensions

• FTIR_JM: shows the images of a camera and moves an Elliptec rotator between two configurable positions.

The instruments come from the Dashboard's experiment: an actuator named Elliptec and a 2D detector named Camera (names and positions are in the config_ftirjm.toml configuration file). The instrument plugins come from other packages, installed as dependencies:

• the Elliptec actuator of pymodaq_plugins_thorlabs
• the PiCamera detector of pymodaq_plugins_raspberry (installed on a Raspberry Pi only: aarch64 or armv7l)

Two experiments are shipped in resources and copied in PyMoDAQ's experiment folder when the extension is run on its own:

• FTIR_JM: Elliptec and PiCamera
• FTIR_JM_mock: the same with the Mock plugins, to try the extension without hardware

Run it with python -m pymodaq_plugins_ftirjm.extensions.ftirjm (loads FTIR_JM), or python -m pymodaq_plugins_ftirjm.extensions.ftirjm -x FTIR_JM_mock. It is also listed in the Dashboard's extension menu.
