feat(cole_parmer): add GenoGrinder plate shaker driver - #1192
Merged
Conversation
The GenoGrinder clamps a microplate between two platens and shakes it vertically for a fixed duration at a fixed speed. Adds the serial driver, tests, an API page for the cole_parmer package, and a hello-world guide. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Pad the API page title underline, make the command table a literal block, and keep the product URL on one line so it stays a valid link. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Adds a driver for the Cole-Parmer GenoGrinder (fka SPEX GenoGrinder), a plate shaker / homogenizer that clamps a microplate or plate stack and mixes it for a fixed duration at a fixed speed.

A command that misses its expected state clears the instrument's error latch and raisesGenoGrinderError.setup()opens the port and runs the power-on routine, which homes the mechanism and readies the clamp; its reply doubles as a communication check.Public API:

The clamp methods read position first and move only if needed, so nothing on the public surface is a blind toggle. Models with a fixed, hand-tightened clamp passuse_clamp_commands=Falseand the clamp methods become no-ops.Not hardware-tested —
