pyAPT
=====

Python interface to Thorlab's APT motion controllers. Depends on `libftdi1` and `pylibftdi`.
Python interface to Thorlab's APT motion controllers. Depends on `libftdi1` and
`pylibftdi`. Under Linux the easiest way to get these is to install `libftdi1`
using the package management system, and then install `pylibftdi` into a virtual
environment or equivalent.

Development is ongoing, and I will be adding functionality as I need them in
the course of my DPhil.

Sorry for the delay in response! I would imagine you need libftdi1 and pylibftdi installe. It seems libftdi is cross platform, and pylibftdi is a pretty thin wrapper anyway, so it shouldn't be impossible.

Unfortunately I don't have any windows computer to test on at the moment.
