Venus Scripting
A from-scratch series on Hamilton Venus method building — worktables, teaching, sequences, step types, variables, and file I/O — written for non-programmers.
Worktable, teaching, sequences, and step logic give you control over the deck. File I/O, Shell, and parallel execution connect the method to everything outside it.
2026-06-24A static script does one thing one way every time. Variables, calculations, and loops are what turn it into a method that adapts at runtime.
2026-06-23Smart Steps look simplest, Single Steps look most complete — the right choice depends on what the step actually needs to do.
2026-06-22Every aspirate and dispense step in Venus references a sequence — understanding pointer behaviour and ordering is the biggest step toward writing methods deliberately.
2026-06-21A perfect worktable model isn't enough — teaching is the calibration step that confirms the software model matches your specific physical deck.
2026-06-20Open Venus and the instinct is to start scripting. The worktable comes first — here's what it contains and why nothing else works without it.
