Automations architecture

Automations

Automations are specialized background jobs with a simplified interface for controlling some part of the Pioreactor. Whereas there is really only one way to control stirring in the Pioreactor (on, off, and constant), there are many ways to modify dosing to get different microbiological outcomes. Similarly with LEDs: there are many ways researchers want to control LEDs to change microorganisms. Same with temperature. For that reason, we've built an automation interface to make developing automations easier. You'll see an example of this simplified design when we build one in the next page.
