spectrometer and system information
- model: USB650
- operating system: Windows 10
- python version: 3.7.6
- python-seabreeze version: 1.0.2
- installed-via: conda, pyusb installed via pip (current git master)
current problem
First of all, thanks for this comprehensive library! Unfortunately, my spectrometer is only a USB650, so the cseabreeze backend is not supported. I got it running using the pyseabreeze backend, which is fine. Has anybody used the advanced functionalities via the pyseabreeze backend? Especially, I need to use the integrated light source of the device. I see that it should be possible with cseabreeze, but with pyseabreeze it is not implented yet, right? At least this is what I read from seabreeze.pyseabreeze.SeaBreezeLightSourceFeature
If anybody could give me some hints on how to get started, I would love to try implementing this. Since it is basically just an on/off switch, I hope this is feasible for me :D
As a side note, since I found no hint on this yet:
At first I experienced problems using the pyseabreeze backend. The list_devices() call resulted in an execption OSError: exception: access violation writing .... Some googling let me to this issue of the pyusb library pyusb/pyusb#203, which is already fixed. So I used the current master from github instead of the conda deployed pyusb. This works fine now. Just in case anybody else is stumbling upon that...
