AHF_BrainLight

AHF_BrainLight.AHF_BrainLight module

class AHF_BrainLight.AHF_BrainLight(taskP, settingsDictP)

Bases: AHF_Base.AHF_Base

abstract static config_user_get(starterDict={})

static method that querries user for settings, with default responses from starterDict, and returns starterDict with settings as edited by the user.

defaultDelay = 3.0

hardwareTest()

generic hardware tester for brain illumination, turns on, waits 2 seconds, turns off

abstract offForStim()

Runs when headFixing ends, turning off whatever was turned on

abstract onForStim()

Runs when headFixing starts, illuminating the brain or whatever needs illuminating

AHF_BrainLight.AHF_BrainLight_1GPIO module

class AHF_BrainLight_1GPIO.AHF_BrainLight_1GPIO(taskP, settingsDictP)

Bases: AHF_BrainLight.AHF_BrainLight

static about()

Returns a brief message describing your sub-class, used when asking user to pick a sub-class of this class

static config_user_get(starterDict={})

static method that querries user for settings, with default responses from starterDict, and returns starterDict with settings as edited by the user.

defaultPin = 23

offForStim()

Runs when headFixing ends, turning off whatever was turned on

onForStim()

Runs when headFixing starts, illuminating the brain or whatever needs illuminating

static onThread(sleepTime, ledPin)

setdown()

oppposite of setup. Releases any hardware resouces. can be run before editing settings so GPIO pins can be reused, for example. This strategy should be used in hardwareTest method.

setup()

does hardware initialization of a brain lighter with(possibly updated) info in self.settingsDict
