This is the python software for the klavins lab turbidostot (see http://depts.washington.edu/soslab for details)

• Python 2.7.x
  • Pyserial 2.7: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyserial
  • numpy: http://www.numpy.org/
  • pygments: (available through pip)
  • flask (for the plotserver, which plots the experiment in a browser)

To install requirements, run: $ sudo pip install numpy pygments pySerial flask

For now see the official turbidostat page.

All platforms:

• Not exiting via ctrl-C can leave orphaned threads that may interfere with later instances of the application, espeically on MacOS and *nix.

MacOS (and probably linux):

• Pumping volumes that take longer than 'period' seconds to process will result in a negative timer value being set, which in turn causes a timer overflow and the program to sleep for nearly 2^32 seconds (many years).
