feat(kbiosystems): add KBiosystems Ultraseal ePRO heat sealer driver#1170
Merged
Conversation
KBiosystemsESeal: plain class over pylabrobot.io.serial.Serial (9600 8-N-1, CR terminator). API: setup, stop, seal, set_temperature, request_temperature, request_status, initialize, the sealing-parameter setters, and send_command. ASCII command protocol: ? status (ESealStatus bitfield), E error (DEVICE_ERRORS), S seal, I init, A/B/L=/DO=/PS=/FS=/ECO_ temperature/time/ foil/distance/force/eco, C/D/F setpoint and current readings, V firmware. The device echoes the command in front of its reply; the echo is stripped before parsing. Docs API and user-guide entries added. Not tested against hardware; setup() logs a warning asking for a PR to remove it once verified. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The device's current name is Ultraseal ePRO (formerly eSeal). Rename the class to KBiosystemsUltrasealEPRO, the status enum to UltrasealEPROStatus, and the module to ultraseal_epro.py. Docs note the former name and link the product page. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The Ultraseal ePRO homes on the I command; run it as part of setup() instead of exposing a separate initialize() method. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Adds a driver for the KBiosystems Ultraseal ePRO microplate heat sealer (pylabrobot/kbiosystems/ultraseal_epro.py).
KBiosystemsUltrasealEPRO: plain class overpylabrobot.io.serial.Serial(9600 8-N-1, no handshake, CR terminator).API:
setup,stop,seal,set_temperature,request_temperature,request_status,initialize,the sealing-parameter setters (time/foil/distance/force/force-mode/eco), the
request_*readers, andsend_command.?status (UltrasealEPROStatusbitfield),Eerror (DEVICE_ERRORS),Sseal,Iinit,A/B/L=/DO=/PS=/FS=/ECO_for temperature/time/foil/distance/force/eco,C/D/Fsetpoint and current readings,
Vfirmware. The device echoes the command in front of its reply; the echois stripped before parsing.
seal()runs the full sequence: wait for ready, apply time/temperature/foil and force-or-distanceparameters, wait for the heater to reach the setpoint, seal, then return to the idle temperature.
