Here is a small guide on how to integrate 3rd party (ie non-Hamilton) equipment into PyHamilton. The best case is a .NET dll that you can import with pythonnet.

As far as a scheduler project, it sounds interesting but I’d want to be more clear on what the needs are. To my knowledge, schedulers provide control logic around the operation of different pieces of equipment and software resources. When I write a Python script that talks to a robot and other integrated equipment, that seems to fulfill the basic use-case of a scheduler as I understand it.
If there’s additional functionality in commercial schedulers now that is not available as a Python package but that you’d like to be, I’d love to know about it. We’re always trying to come up with useful tools like that.
