Cameras

Currently only Basler cameras are supported. We use Basler's Pylon library to access the cameras.

Support for other cameras is planned.

Trigger box

Braid uses the Straw Lab Triggerbox hardware to synchronize the cameras. This is based on an Arduino microcontroller.

On Ubuntu, it is important to add your user to the dialout group so that you can access the Triggerbox. Do so like this:

sudo adduser <username> dialout

Trigger cables

TODO: write this and describe how to check everything is working.
