For example:\n\n```python\nimport asyncio\nfrom ika import Hotplate, OverheadStirrer\n\nasync def get():\n    async with OverheadStirrer('ip-address:port') as stirrer:\n        print(await stirrer.get())\n    async with Hotplate('ip-address:port') as hotplate:\n        print(await hotplate.get())\n\n\nasyncio.run(get())\n```\nHardware configuration\n======================\nFor Control-Visc hotplates, make sure the \"Eurostar\" control option is turned off\nin the system settings.  Otherwise, the device will turn the heater off when the serial\ncable is unplugged.\n\nAcknowledgements\n================\n\n©2023 Alexander Ruddick\n\nUses code from [the Hein group](https://gitlab.com/heingroup/ika), but otherwise no affiliation.\nAs of 2023, that project appears to have been abandoned.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnumat%2Fika","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnumat%2Fika","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnumat%2Fika/lists"}
