pyAPT

Python interface to Thorlab's APT motion controllers. Depends on libftdi1 and pylibftdi. Under Linux the easiest way to get these is to install libftdi1 using the package management system, and then install pylibftdi into a virtual environment or equivalent.

Development is ongoing, and I will be adding functionality as I need them in the course of my DPhil.

Note on stage limits

The stage limits (maximum acceleration, velocity, etc) as quoted on the Thorlabs website, or in their user manuals, often don't agree with reality. The best way to get these limits is to install the APT User software, which seems to have built-in limits for the various stages. These correspond much better to the actual performance of stages.
