For those who used the OpenFlexure Microscope that I brought GOSH in Shenzhen, the new software is so much easier to use. You can move around by clicking what you want to centre on the screen, you can focus with the scroll wheel of your mouse. Every feature has a button rather than a magic hotkey. And it can be installed like any normal program, onto your own computer. The stuff that runs on the Raspberry Pi is prebuilt into a customised version of the Raspberry Pi operating system.
We are interested in any feedback you have about installing or using the new software. The best place to ask questions, or give us feedback is on our GitLab because then it will be visible to others having this issues. Oh, and by “we” I mean
- @jc2450 - who pretty much wrote the whole thing
- @kaspar - who did a lot of magic to make the pre-built Raspberry Pi operating system
- @rbowman - who you all know, runs the project, and did quite a bit of the programming
- Me - Who actually didn’t do much for the software, except leaning over Joel’s shoulder to ask if it does stuff I want yet.
