- Share what you plan to work on.
I’d like to work on better Opentrons (OT2) integration. I think there are some ways to do it well and reliably, but I think it takes a slightly different route than what is currently in PLR.
- Share what you’d love to see developed by the community.
I really like the http server bits of PLR, and would like to see that + machine integrations be a thing. For example, if I combine a liquid handler and a centrifuge, I want a way to address both at once over an http server (combining them both as a kind of workcell). These workcells would be easier to reproduce than single machines, and software could be written against them as a unit.
- first mechanic arm integration (maybe with specified inverse kinematics control
)
I have a lite6 robotic arm from ufactory which is really good - got inverse kinematics built in and a python API and everything. You can get it for $3500. It’s pretty cheap because it is direct from the chinese company that builds em, and they have built them for years (usually larger arms for industrial applications). However, the biogripper is $2100 so I haven’t bought it yet. Good option for a mechanic arm integration.
