Out of interest, is there any public information about your project?

I am currently prototyping a Lua environment for instrument control in a regulated environment. I've added several customisations and safety mitigations to make it suitable for use, and it works beautifully. One thing I would like is to be able to showcase examples of use in other products.

If you, or anyone else, have any examples I could point people to, to demonstrate existing real-world uses of Lua, that would be really appreciated.

There isn't any public info about the architecture of the system, but you can find product info here:

Many thanks for the reference, this looks like a really interesting device, and it has quite a lot of similarities with the type of system I'm working on (albeit in a completely different application domain).

You're welcome - what are you working on, may I ask? Common interests, and all ..

In vitro medical diagnostics, using microfluidics, fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging.

Neat. Would love to know more about how you're using Lua in that context ..

Currently just starting with a very simple prototype, which is a very basic action scheduler for running analysis workflows. It will become more capable as more system functionality is wrapped and exposed. That ease of wrapping and sandboxing the Lua environment is one of the features I really like about Lua.
