Implementation of the iris for Rockefeller's Axicon. They wanted a Windows application to control their setup, so I built it in Python: https://github.com/BliqPhotonics/AxiconManager
The serial protocol of the iris is described in the following manual: https://www.uniblitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/ai25-direct-control-v1-2.pdf
Communication is done via an Arduino, because Uniblitz chose a somewhat bizarre configuration by routing the UART signals and 12V power directly via the pins of a USB3 port 🤨 : https://github.com/PhilCS/PyHardwareLibrary/tree/uniblitz/hardwarelibrary/irises/driverAI25
For the few commits unrelated to the iris, it's simply to fix two bugs I identified: 1. Avoid a
UnicodeDecodeError
when the serial buffers contain parasitic non-ASCII bytes, and 2. Fix the brokenflush()
method ofDebugPort
.
