How to Automate Offline Backups Manually

The long awaited BrainStem LabVIEW API is finally here!  

Well, kind of...  

Currently, the API has only been completed for the USBHub2x4 and the USBHub3P+. However, the framework has been laid for all BrainStem devices and USB hubs, and we will soon announce when that has been completed as well.  

What is the ScratchPad?

The BrainStem scratchpad is a shared memory on a brainstem module which is accessible from both the host and Reflex code. It serves as a simple interprocess communication channel for separate Reflex routines, as well as a communication channel between the host and reflex code running on the BrainStem module.

Check out our new YouTube video "Up and running with BrainStem using our Python API".

This video details how to properly configure your system to communicate with our Brainstem modules.  It includes: installing Python, pip, and the BrainStem API (.whl).  Once everything is up and running a basic example using a USBStem module is shown.  Configuration, along with the examples, are shown for both Windows and Macintosh platforms (also compatible with Linux).
