Simple COM-port device control GUIs

From inside Matlab:

stage.m (stage.fig)

talks to Neat 300 X-Y stage, enables joystick and one-click fixed distance movements. Should probably work with other stages that use same RS-232 commands. Slower speeds are automatically selected for shorter distances. Smooth no-jerk acceleration and deceleration.

positioner.m (positioner.fig)

talks to Sutter micromanipulator, remembers and moves between four X-Y-Z positions. Useful for programmed positioning of patch electrode under an immersion objective: do it manually for the first time, store corner coordinates in memory, move automatically between stored positions afterwards.

Using java directly:

serial.tar.gz

You will need java installation with javax.comm package.
Uses a fix by Robert Slifka to work around Preferences subsystem problems on linux.
