Add support for new devices
If you want to add support for a new device-type this is tha page for you! Let’s assume you got a new lab device, an 👂Extendable Ear👂 manufactured by Weasley & Weasley. And of course you want to control it via flowchem. Solid idea!👏
You have two possibilities:
In general, devices whose support needs the addition of several new dependencies to flowchem are better packaged as
plugins, while generally useful modules are ideally embedded with flowchem.
This is to limit the amount dependencies in flowchem while enabling support to devices with more complex needs.
Currently, the only plugin to flowchem is flowchem-test which adds a
barebone device type called FakeDevice for use in tests.
