Description

Mainly Scott Swindell/Petr K. code to communicate with rts2.

Everything in the rts2solib/rts2solib folder is mainly communication classes with rts2 and database communicators for rts2. There is the filter set class in there which is critical for operation and is used in the flat artn. I believe we still need to make it to dynamically load in filters and not from a hardcoded list.

Branches

  • Master -- Everything is up to date
  • py3 -- [Note that this branch does not seem to exist anymore?] Cannot delete this because there is an open pull request by someone. I commented on the merge commit and hopefully scott can delete it

Which Python

When developing these scripts please use the python at

#!/home/rts2obs/anaconda3/bin/python3

Important Scripts and symbolic links

Flat Script

/etc/rts2/flat_artn - > /home/rts2obs/git-clones/rts2solib/scripts/flat_artn.py

Old flat script used in the beginning and end of the night

/etc/rts2/flat_artn.py

Focus Script

/etc/rts2/rts2-focusing - > /home/rts2obs/git-clones/rts2solib/scripts/rts2-focusing

The focusing script used when focus object is taken

At some point this should be changed to a simple /etc/rts2/rts2-focusing.py to be consistent with the other scripts!
