As an alternative to the Plan GUI we provide high-level scripts to wrap around the C/C++ FlexSEA stack. The repository is available on git: DephyInc/Actuator-Package. The master branch contains the tested versions. Please use this and not the various feature branches.

• Language-agnostic Demo Scripts Description
• C/C++
• Python Interface 3.0
• For legacy purposes:
  • Deprecated Python Interface 2.0
  • Deprecated Python Interface 1.0
• MATLAB
• SIMULINK

The Stack 4.0 API is a suite of functions that configure and control FlexSEA devices. The scripts rely on this API.

• To use the scripts you need libraries. We provide libraries for:
  • Windows 32-bits & 64-bits
  • Ubuntu 64-bits
  • Raspberry Pi OS (previously called Raspbian) 32-bits & 64-bits, Raspberry Pi 4 only
• For Windows, 32 vs 64 depends on your Python version and not your OS (essentially everyone is on 64-bits these days)
• Know limitations:
  • On Windows you can reach tens to low-hundreds of Hz. This is computer specific, and a faster computer won't necessarily lead to faster loops.
  • On Ubuntu (even in a VM) you can reach hundreds of Hz
  • On RPi4, the preferred platform for real-world experiments, you can get in the high hundreds of Hz

• DLL-Bitsize is a tool to determine the bit size of your DLL. This may be useful for troubleshooting if the DLL can't load.
• MATLAB and SIMULINK Hints
