StepperControl

The Python code with a user interface is porvided with following functions:

3-axis stepper-motor control
auto scanning function by setting start point, scanning interval and scanning amount
real-time image display
image processing function(otsu method is provided here)
basic setting function(Max Speed & Acceleration)

The communication between Arduino and computer is automatically built when the program is opened. If the connection is failed, it can be re-built again by clicking the 'Connect to Arduino' button in menubar

The communication between Camera and computer is automatically built when the program is opened. If the connection is failed, it can be re-built again by clicking the 'Connect to Camera' button in menubar

The parameters on UI are saved automatically after the program is closed.

Arduino parameter numbers

ID	Name
41	MOVEMENT_STEPS_ACC_DEC_X
42	MOVEMENT_STEPS_ACC_DEC_Y
43	MOVEMENT_STEPS_ACC_DEC_Z
71	MOVEMENT_MAX_SPD_X
72	MOVEMENT_MAX_SPD_Y
73	MOVEMENT_MAX_SPD_Z

Codes sent to the arduino

Moving 100, 200, 300 steps on X & Y & Z direction respectively

G00 X100 Y200 Z300

Read the Parameter Value of X acceleration

F21 P41

Change the Parameter Value of Y acceleration to 300

F22 P41 V300

P.S. The oservation speed could be changed by setting MOVEMENT_MAX_SPD or MOVEMENT_STEPS_ACC_DEC
