opentrons-protocol-api

Python API v2 for programming Opentrons OT-2 and Flex liquid handling robots. Write protocols as Python files with metadata and a run() function; control pipettes, labware, and hardware modules (thermocycler, heater-shaker, magnetic, temperature). Simulate locally with opentrons_simulate, then upload to the robot app. Use PyLabRobot instead for hardware-agnostic scripts that run on Hamilton, Tecan, or other vendors.
