Love this! Thanks for the effort :flexed_biceps:

Could I please solicit a guide on replacing/troubleshooting multichannel heads? 8-channel and 96-channel would be great!

what specific problems do you have?

8-channel pipettes inconsistent amounts. I think it could be a hardware issue with the pressure sensor or liquid in the dispense chamber.

96-head triggers a setup error, as seen here: Core96Head on STAR Failing During Setup · Issue #323 · PyLabRobot/pylabrobot · GitHub

I’m going to perform the recommended firmware command debugging but I’d love to know about any known hardware issues with that head for if they come up later
