Slot (inherits from dataclass)

Description

Represents a single slot on the Jubilee deck. Each slot has a unique index, an (x, y) offset position, and can optionally hold a labware item.

Constructor

Slot(slot_index: int, offset: Tuple[float], has_labware: bool, labware: str)

Initializes a slot object with position and occupancy information.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
slot_index	int	Unique identifier for the slot (e.g., 0–5).
offset	Tuple[float]	X, Y position offset of the slot relative to the deck origin.
has_labware	bool	Whether the slot currently has labware loaded.
labware	str	Identifier for the labware loaded into the slot, if any.

Methods

(No custom methods defined for Slot; all functionality provided through dataclass fields.)

Short Example

# Create a new Slot manually
slot0 = Slot(slot_index=0, offset=(0.0, 0.0), has_labware=False, labware=None)

# Check if slot has labware
print(slot0.has_labware)  # False

Important Notes

• Slot information is generally initialized automatically when loading a Deck configuration.
• When a labware is loaded into a slot, has_labware is set to True, and the labware field holds the loaded object.
• Slot offsets are critical for precise labware positioning and must match the physical deck layout.
