Switched the submodule URL in .gitmodules for 'LimeDriver' from SSH to HTTPS to improve compatibility for cloning without requiring SSH keys. This change should facilitate easier access for contributors and automated build systems that may not have SSH key setups. |

Python Bindings for LimeDriver
This is a Python package for the LimeDriver library.
Dependencies
To build the Python bindings, you will need to have the dependencies for LimeDriver installed, as well as the Python development headers.
Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install g++ cmake libhdf5-dev liblimesuite-dev python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv
Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S gcc cmake hdf5 limesuite python python-pip
Installation
It 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/activate
Ensure that the LimeDriver submodule is initialized:
git submodule update --init
Now, the Python bindings can be built and installed using pip:
pip install .
Usage
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.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()
