5.0.2
Welcome to the v5.0.2 release of the Opentrons OT-2 software! This release is a complete refactor of how the OT-2 communicates with the Opentrons app and features a number of changes to how protocols are loaded and stored on the robot.
New Features
A modern, http-based interface has replaced the RPC endpoints for communicating with the Opentrons App
More thorough information about a protocol is returned to the Opentrons App to enable the display of live protocol status
The most recent protocol analysis and run are stored on the robot to enable easy, quick re-running via the Opentrons App
A new way to use labware offsets in Jupyter notebook and SSH sessions
5.0.1 to 5.0.2
The 5.0.2 hotfix release contains three fixes in the Opentrons App:
- If you use
load_labware_from_definition
in your Python protocol, you are now able to use Labware Position Check. - User-defined labware labels, if present, are now displayed in "Labware Setup"
- Certain types of protocol upload failures will now show an error message instead of silently failing.
As well as three related fixes in the robot software:
- The robot now understands how to use labware loaded via
load_labware_from_definition
during Labware Position Check. - User-defined labware labels are now returned to the Opentrons App from protocol analyses and runs.
- Protocol file uploads now permit uppercase .json and .py extensions.
5.0.0 to 5.0.1
The 5.0.1 hotfix release contains a small fix to the Labware Position Check to appropriately handle protocols that load pipettes, but never pick up tips with that pipette.
Known Issues
Your last run protocol will not be saved through robot reboots
