command-queue-less-api-example.py

# To use this API:
#
# Uninstall previously installed API
# pip uninstall -y opentrons
#
# Install API from here
# pip install "git+https://github.com/opentrons/opentrons@release-2.5.0#egg=opentrons&subdirectory=api"

# imports
from opentrons import robot, containers, instruments

# Uncomment line below and robot will connect to a robot
# robot.connect('/insert-serial-port-here')

# If you are already connected to a robot and want to return to simulation mode uncomment line below
# robot.set_connection('simulate')

# To switch back to a simulation connection, uncomment line below
# robot.set_connection('simulate')

# containers
plate = containers.load('96-flat', 'B1')
tiprack = containers.load('tiprack-200ul', 'A1')

# pipettes
pipette = instruments.Pipette(axis='b', max_volume=200, tip_racks=[tiprack])

# commands
pipette.transfer(100, plate.wells('A1'), plate.wells('B1'))

# Get list of commands run by the robot thus far (this is list of text only)
robot.commands()

# Clear commands from history
robot.reset()
