This command-line utility allows you to manage with HSFW turrets: check and change their positions, list connected devices and their property, rename wheels' and filters' names stored in EEPROM of given turret.

Command line options:

-H, --home              move to home position
-N, --wheel-name=arg    wheel name
-W, --wheel-id=arg      letter wheel identificator
-h, --help              show this help
-i, --filter-id=arg     filter identificator like "A3"
-n, --filter-name=arg   filter name
-p, --f-position=arg    filter position number
-s, --serial=arg        turret serial (with leading zeros)
--list                  list only present devices' names
--list-all              list all stored names
--rename                rename stored wheels/filters names
--resetnames            reset all names to default values

Usage examples

Short list of connected devices (wheel ID, turret serial and current position):

HSFW_manage
'B' '00000563' 1
'A' '00000532' 1

List all devices connected

HSFW_manage --list

Connected wheel properties
Wheel ID 'B' , name 'Sloan', serial '00000563' , 5 filters:
    1: '1'
    2: '2'
    3: '3'
    4: '4'
    5: '5'
current position: 1

Connected wheel properties
Wheel ID 'A' , name 'UBVRI', serial '00000532' , 5 filters:
    1: 'U'
    2: 'B'
    3: 'V'
    4: 'R'
    5: 'I'
current position: 1

Move wheel by turret's serial and position number

HSFW_manage -s 00000563 -p 3

Will move first turret (wheel 'A' named 'UBVRI') into third position (filter 'V').

Move wheel by filter name

HSFW_manage -nV

Is equivalent of previous.

Rename wheel 'B' of first turret

HSFW_manage --rename -s00000563 -WB -N "New name"

Assigns "New name" to wheel 'B' of first turret in spite of its absence in current moment. You can control all changes by HSFV_manage --list (show only wheels presents) or HSFV_manage --list-all (show all EEPROM information).
