[DIYbio] Re: [biocurious] Sequencer teardown

Bryan, the high level control logic resides on a PC that drives the
sequencer. We are just tearing down the sequencer itself. There is a
custom board that controls the pumps and the heaters, but no obvious
ROM of anything you'd find useful. The motor control is done via an
ASI controller, so that's off the shelf (I believe it's an LX-4000,
but will have to check on that.)

So sorry, but there won't be any ROM to dump this time either. I don't
think that we'd be within our rights to distribute their code anyway,
but as it happens there isn't anything interesting enough there to be
worth asking the question.
