A custom MATLAB Class and example for controlling any Arcus stage or motor (Arcus-Technologies Inc.)
Dependencies
- Motor or stage from Arcus-Technologies Inc.
- install Arcus-technologies stage/ motor control software depending on whether its DriveMax or PerforMax. Find in "Arcus_installers" folder or download from webpage (https://www.arcus-technology.com/support/downloads/)
- MATLAB (higher versions preferable)
This code depends on simple commands (written in text "gui_cmd.txt") that are passed on to the program "GUI_CMD.exe" to control any Arcus stage or motor.
The role of the developed MATLAB class (myArcus.m) is to translate comamnds from MATLAB to the text commands that can be understood by the "GUI_CMD_exe" that runs the Motor/Stage.
To Run your Motor/Stage, check the "gui_cmd.txt" file, Be sure to edit it to suit your hardware. For further information concerning this read "README.txt". Example of controlling stage can be found in the "Test_run.m" file
