pylabrobot.opentrons.flex.flex_head.FlexHead96.drop_tips

async FlexHead96.drop_tips(target: TipRack | Trash) → None

Drop all 96 tips – one wire command, fanned to 96 channels.

A TipRack target returns tips (one dropTip command anchored at “A1”); a Trash target discards via the addressable-area drop sequence. Tip trackers are committed only for channels that actually held a tip (None-skip); trash drops never return tips to a rack tracker. After the wire drop + tracker commit, _confirm_tips_cleared() checks the hardware tip-presence sensor and logs a warning (does not raise) if it still reports a tip.

Parameters:

target (TipRack | Trash)

Return type:

None
