Automating the Microscope

Hey there, it’s me again!

As I have previously mentioned in another post, I am kinda new to all this coding, whatsoever.
What I am planing will probably sound simple to most of you guys, yet it’s confusing to get into if you are new to all of this.

I am pretty much trying to automate the whole process which should follow this order:
Microscope moves in x- and y- direction, does the whole autofocus stuff takes a picture after being focused and then moves again. This should loop for a few times.

I want the whole process done without any input except for starting the code via the Terminal.
As of right now I am only able to move the Motors/Microscope. I am not able to find the right commands for the autofocus and somehow the “capture image”-command I used before does not work anymore after I’ve changed the OS to the Openflexure one, while I had the standard raspberry Pi OS before.

Has anything like this been done before? Maybe with instructions? Or is there a list of commands for the Microscope which would work and which I could use for my code?
(Is my plan even the best way to automate this, or would there be an easier one?)

Appreciate all the help I can get.
