This is a Python package for the LimeDriver library.
To build the Python bindings, you will need to have the dependencies for LimeDriver installed, as well as the Python development headers.
sudo apt-get install g++ cmake libhdf5-dev liblimesuite-dev python3-dev python3-pip python3-venvsudo pacman -S gcc cmake hdf5 limesuite python python-pipIt is recommended to install the Python bindings in a virtual environment. To create a new virtual environment, run the following commands:
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activateYou can install the Python bindings using pip:
pip install limedriverAlternatively you can clone the repository and install the Python bindings from source:
git clone <this-repo-url>
cd LimeDriverBindingsEnsure that the LimeDriver submodule is initialized:
git submodule update --initNow, the Python bindings can be built and installed using pip:
pip install .The Python bindings provide a high-level interface to the LimeDriver library:
# Import the LimeDriver module
import limedriver
# Set the number of pulses to generate
Npulses = 1000
# Create a new PyLimeConfig object
config = limedriver.binding.PyLimeConfig(Npulses)
# Modify the config as needed
config.srate = 1e6
# Execute the config on the LimeSDR
config.run()
# Get the path to the output file
filename = config.get_path()
# Use the built-in HDF5 reader to read the output file
data = limedriver.hdf_reader.HDF(filename)
data.print_params()
