[Feature Request]: simpler example

[jkitchin]

Feature Requested

It would be helpful to have an example alabos that people can use out of the box. I am trying to make one myself with https://claude-light.cheme.cmu.edu/api. This is a remote device with a REST API. It seems like it should be easy to make a Device that uses requests to make a measurement, and some Tasks for different kinds of measurements. There isn't a concept of a sample for the device, you just set RGB levels, and measure intensities out.

Proposed Solution

I am pretty close to a solution, and would be happy to make a pull request when it is working.

Agree! I will work on a simpler example this week. I plan to put it in the default project so that users can have a runnable code after executing alaos init.

For the sample concept, alabos itself supports the execution of experiments without samples. But you may not be able to directly use the experiment submission script mentioned in the document: https://cedergrouphub.github.io/alabos/submit_experiments.html.

I can also add an example to the example folder to show how we can do that.

I have a working example alab that should work out of the box at https://github.com/jkitchin/alabos/tree/main/examples/claude-light.

It uses an instrument I created at http://claude-light.cheme.cmu.edu

I would be happy to get feedback on it. If you are interested, I could make a pull request.

Hi John! This is really amazing! I tried your code on my laptop. It worked perfectly. I checked the code. It is exactly how we expected users to program with AlabOS.

I am very interested in adding this example to the alabos example folder as it is. If you have time, could you create a pull request? Thank you very much!
