PyFocus is a telescope focuser control interface. Although intended for use
with XmTel and XmCCD, it stands by itself and is the software needed to
operate DC servo driven focusers such as the Planewave Hedrick focuser .

PyFocus is written in Python, and has a dependency on the Phidgets library for
a USB servo controller. The version here is for Linux, but Phidgets has a version for Windows so that it would be possible to build
a system for a Windows OS based on this code if you feel adventurous.

Installation is in three steps:

1. Run the installation scripts in the libphidget directory to install the
requisite library and the rules for the servo USB device.

2. Run the Python setup script in PhidgetsPython to install
the supporting Phidgets Python files.

3. Copy the Python scripts in servo to /usr/local/bin/ to enable the servo
interface.


The system uses files in /usr/local/observatory/status/. Check
that the entire directory structure is readable and writable by the user who
is running the observatory.
