 ====== Newport Picomotor ======
-We have implemented control of Newport Picomotor [[https://www.newport.com/f/picomotor-piezo-linear-actuators|actuator]]. The implementation is similar to the main hwserver, we wrote another server - [[https://sourceforge.net/p/gwyscope/code/HEAD/tree/peripherals/pmserver/|pmserver]] - the connects to the [[https://www.newport.com/p/8742|Newport 8742 controller]] via Ethernet and allows for getting controller's ID, setting actuator velocity and acceleration and moving the actuator. Open the ''test_client.c'' example to see how to communicate with the pmserver.

 The implementation was done using [[https://pylablib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/devices/Newport_picomotor.html|Picomotor device class]] provided by the PyLabLib Python package for device control and experiment automation and Python to C interface. Several packages had to be installed onto the Red Pitaya. First of all it is necessary to upgrade pip:

-In the directory, there is a simple Python script ''pico.py'' that tests if all the packages are installed correctly and tries to connect to the Picomotor controller and to write it's ID. Note that the IP address of the controller has to be known. It can viewed or set using [[https://www.newport.com/medias/sys_master/software/software/h4b/he7/9139939803166/PicomotorApp-2.1.5.zip|PicomotorApp]]. Note however that the software is available for Windows OS only. If testing with the pico.py utility was successful, the pmserver  can be started providing port number (50101) and .ini file (hwserver_sample.ini):
