This is the github repository of the software part of the ethoscope platform. All technical information regarding ethoscope is compiled in our documentation.
src contains the main python package named ethoscope. It is installed on video monitors (devices), but it can be used as a standalone off-line tracking tool.node-src contains the software stack running on the 'node'. Node is a unique computer that syncs and controls devices.prototypes contains (rather obsolete) developmental trials.scripts contains a toolbox of scripts. For instance to install the software on target device or to convert aquiered videos to a handy format.master is only used for hosting tested stable software. As of June 2020 master is now fully based on Python 3.dev is a fairly stable developmental used in @gilestrolab.The workflow is to make issue branches from dev, test them as much a possible before merging them to dev.
Then, we deploy them in dev, and update all devices in the @gilestrolab.
If we experience no new critical issues over several weeks, we can merge dev to master, allowing the rest of the world to upgrade. The last merge from dev to master dates to March 2022.
