Which Opentrons API versions are supported?

This skill is optimized for Protocol API v2, specifically targeting the latest versions (up to v2.19) for both the OT-2 and Flex robots.

Can it help with protocol simulation?

Yes, it can implement simulation-aware logic using 'protocol.is_simulating()' to ensure your scripts are tested before running on the physical robot.

Can this skill handle multi-channel pipetting?

Yes, it provides patterns for 8-channel and 96-channel pipette operations, including row-wise and column-wise logic for 96-well plates.

Does it support hardware modules like Thermocyclers?

Absolutely. The skill includes comprehensive commands for controlling Thermocyclers, Heater-Shakers, Temperature Modules, and Magnetic Modules.

How does it handle labware and deck layouts?

The skill manages labware loading via API names, handles slot assignments (1-11 for OT-2, A1-D3 for Flex), and supports loading labware on adapters or modules.
