OceanHR6 connection issue

spectrometer and system information

• python-seabreeze version: newest version
• installed-via: conda

current problem

I am attempting to operate the Ocean Optics HR6 model using Seabreeze, but unfortunately, I keep encountering an issue where the device cannot be found. However, I confirmed that the device works properly when using the OceanView program provided by Ocean Optics. May I kindly ask if Seabreeze supports the HR6 model? If it is not currently supported, are there any plans to add support for this model? Furthermore, if I could be of assistance in adding support for the HR6 model, could you kindly guide me through the necessary steps?

steps to reproduce

The code I ran is as follows:

import seabreeze
from seabreeze.spectrometers import list_devices
print( list_devices())
<[]

Unfortunately, it returns an empty list. I have also attempted to follow the troubleshooting guide provided at https://python-seabreeze.readthedocs.io/en/latest/troubleshoot.html, but this did not resolve the issue.

I would greatly appreciate any further guidance or suggestions you could offer regarding this matter.

Hi @SJK-97

Can you check the usb product id of the HR6? If it differs from the SR6, you would have to follow what was done in this PR https://github.com/ap--/python-seabreeze/pull/230/

Let me know if you need more detailed instructions,
Cheers,
Andreas 😃
