Pipettor Version 5.x

Abstract

Code is written in Basic to run using web-available Basic assembler, available at justbasic.com. It drives a set of stepper motors to mechanize the operation of pipetting radioactive solutions within a hot cell, and it communicates via serial port with the C4 stepper controller sold by Arrick, see http://www.arrickrobotics.com/c4md2.html. It is intended to operate stand-alone, that is, the justbasic assembler/application is downloaded onto a PC, the application runs the software program Pipettor, and the instructions are included as comments within the software.
