• a two-photon microscope with ScanImage
• High-power LEDs
• a LabJack/arduino

Installation

Windows

install Arduino IDE

Install Ximea

Use zeromq with matlab

Use zeromq with matlab

sudo apt install maven openjdk-8-jdk-headless
git clone https://github.com/zeromq/jeromq.git
git checkout tags/v0.6.0
cd jeromq
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/ mvn clean install -DskipTests

Load Firmata Sketch on the Arduino

The sketch is available in the Arduino IDE’s built-in examples. To open it, access the File menu, then Examples, followed by Firmata, and finally StandardFirmata.

1. Plug the USB cable into the PC.
2. Select the appropriate board and port on the IDE.
3. Press Upload.

Then copy target/jeromq-0.6.0.jar to the project root.
