Reposted by @micro-manager.bsky.socialNico Stuurman @nicostuurman.bsky.social · 21/12/2025One of the difficulties in developing code for microscopes is to get access to the equipment. So, wouldn't it be nice to have emulators? Turns out that AI is really good at converting documentation into an emulator: nicost.github.io/microscope-t...nicost.github.ioFirmware Emulatorstitle: “Firmware Emulators for Microscope Devices” author: Nico Stuurman date: 2025-12-21 — 0217
micro-manager.bsky.social @micro-manager.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Some Micro-Manager device adapters are not included in the installer. That can cause problems when the device API changes.
