Hi Yan, thanks for adding this new hardware module. However, this version of Qudi is not supported anymore. We are currently working on a new release, where the Qudi core and Qudi modules are separated from each other. You can find the core repository here: https://github.com/Ulm-IQO/qudi-core and have a look at the documentation. A few things will have changed.

Regarding the modules you are free to contribute to the iqo-modules repository, https://github.com/Ulm-IQO/qudi-iqo-modules. Please convert your new module to the new release of Qudi. You can install both qudi-core and the iqo-modules and then port your work to the new core. For this the module conversion guide (https://github.com/Ulm-IQO/qudi-iqo-modules/blob/main/docs/module_conversion.md) may help you. Then you can make a new pull request and we will review your hardware module.
