Other projects#

This document presents a (not-so) curated list of open-source projects related to hardware control via software.

Other projects are listed in the Smart Microscopy website.

This list should include only projects that have been actively developed in the last 5 years.

We’ll update this list as we go.

Any contribution is welcome.

  • PyMoDAQ [1]: a modular data acquisition framework.

    • PyMoDAQ leverages a similar approach to RedSun concept of plugins (called “modules” in PyMoDAQ), but it is tied to the Qt framework.

  • bluesky [2]: event-driven, unopinionated framework for experiment control in Python.

    • We use this!

  • qudi-core [3]: a framework for modular multi-instrument and multi-computer measurement applications.

    • qudi-core leverages a similar approach to RedSun concept of plugins (called “addons” in qudi), but it is tied to the Qt framework.
