This project aims to provide an intuitive interface for controlling microscope components via an ESP32-S3 microcontroller and a touchscreen display. The system integrates with ImSwitch for triggering acquisitions and controlling other microscope features.
- Control microscope stage movements (X, Y, Z)
- Adjust laser intensity
- Change LED array color
- Send custom messages to trigger actions in ImSwitch
- User-friendly touchscreen interface
- Waveshare ESP32-S3 Touch LCD 4.3"
- Microscope setup with controllable stage, laser, and LED array
- PlatformIO
- LVGL library
- ESP32 libraries
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/openUC2/openUC2-ESP32InfoScreen.git cd openUC2-ESP32InfoScreen -
Install the required libraries using PlatformIO:
pio lib install
-
Configure the project: Edit the
platformio.inifile to match your hardware setup. -
Build and upload the code to your ESP32-S3:
pio run --target upload
After uploading the code, the touchscreen interface will allow you to:
- Move the microscope stage in X, Y, Z directions.
- Adjust the intensity of the laser.
- Change the color and intensity of the LED array.
- Send custom commands to ImSwitch.
