# Euglena control applet

This is intended for use with euglena projector + microscope systems as developed by the [Riedel-Kruse lab](https://web.stanford.edu/group/riedel-kruse/).

Written in Java and using the Processing 3 library

Jan Peykiewicz (anewusername at gmail) wrote this version in mid-2016, but doesn't *really* work on this project...

I (Jan) haven't tested the below commands on windows, but they should be direct translations of the linux commands.

## Compiling

You'll need a recent JDK (eg. 1.8).

On linux,
```
cd src/
javac -cp .:../lib/*:../lib/video/library/*:../lib/serial/library/*:../lib/opencv_processing/library/* EuglenaApplet.java
```

On windows, 
```
cd src\
javac -cp .;..\lib\*;..\lib\video\library\*;..\lib\serial\library\*;..\lib\opencv_processing\library\* EuglenaApplet.java
```

## Running

On linux,
```
cd src/
java -cp .:../lib/*:../lib/video/library/*:../lib/serial/library/*:../lib/opencv_processing/library/* EuglenaApplet
```

On windows, 
```
cd src\
java -cp .;..\lib\*;..\lib\video\library\*;..\lib\serial\library\*;..\lib\opencv_processing\library\* EuglenaApplet
```

## Cleanup

On linux,
```rm src/*.class```

On windows,
```del src\*.class```

## Troubleshooting

If everything goes dark when you start the program, try alt-tab to switch between windows, it probably just fullscreened a black window.
