haseebehsan / RF24Python

Optimized fork of nRF24L01 for Arduino & Raspberry Pi/Linux Devices (in addition with python wrapper for RF24, RF24Network, RF24Mesh)

See http://tmrh20.github.io/RF24 for all documentation for RF24

Python Wrapper

Pre-Requisites

• You must have python, boost and build-essentials. concern official docs HERE
• C++ Header for RF24, RF24Network, RF24Mesh (Guide Below)
• Cloned this repo

Installing Headers

• Install prerequisites if there are any (MRAA, LittleWire libraries, setup SPI device etc)
• Downloading the install.sh file from http://tmrh20.github.io/RF24Installer/RPi/install.sh and installing headers

  $ sudo wget http://tmrh20.github.io/RF24Installer/RPi/install.sh
  $ sudo chmod +x install.sh 
  $ sudo ./install.sh 

Installing Wrappers

• first clone this repo

  $ sudo git clone https://github.com/haseebehsan/RF24Python

• go inside RF24 python wrapper dir and install python wrapper for RF24

  $ cd ./RF24Python/pyRF24/pyRF24
  $ sudo python setup.py install

• Now go inside RF24Network python wrapper dir and install python wrapper for RF24Network

  $ cd ../pyRF24Network
  $ sudo python setup.py install

• Now go inside RF24Mesh python wrapper dir and install python wrapper for RF24Mesh

  $ cd ../pyRF24Mesh
  $ sudo python setup.py install

Note: If you need RF24Mesh only you need RF24Network and Rf24 for that, so don't skip any step
