Structure

The package is composed of different modules:

• connection: Module that encapsulates and abstracts functions that allow the low-level communication with the Solys2.

• response: Module that contains functionalities for processing the Solys2 responses.

• solys2: Module that encapsulates and abstracts an interface for interacting with the Solys2.

• positioncalc: Module that contains the objects that allow the calculation of the position of the moon and the sun using different libraries, like ephem, pysolar or SPICE (spicedmoon and spicedsun).

• common: Module containing common constants, functions and datatypes.

• autohelper: Module that contains the functionalities that are used for performing automatic actions with the Solys2.

• autotrack: Module that contains the functionalities of performing automatic actions with the Solys2.

• calibration: This module contains the functionalities related to different calibration methods, most of them used by the GOA-UVa.

The main modules that can be used are the module solys2, which allowes the user to interact with the SOLYS2 easily, and autotrack and calibration, which let the user perform automated functions like tracking the moon or performing a calibration cross over the moon.
