Python Resources for Digi Devices

This project contains modules and sample code for use on Digi devices with Python support.

The repository is used by the Digi XBee PyCharm IDE plugin to get the available samples, libraries platforms and stubs and facilitate the process of creating and launching Python applications in Digi devices. This means that you don't need to clone it unless you want to contribute with new content as the PyCharm plugin will handle all necessary resources automatically.

We don't recommend you to do so, but you can still use the content of this repository to create Python applications by your own (without using the Digi XBee PyCharm IDE plugin). In any case, you will find information on how to get started with Python in the Applications section of your device documentation.

Digi International manages the project on GitHub as digi-python-resources.

Requirements

Modules and samples within the repository can be executed only in Digi devices with Python support. This is the list of current compatible devices:

  • IX15

Organization

The repository is structured in the following folders:

  • categories - This folder contains the definition and images for the Digi categories in which the different products supporting Python are organized. This information is used by the Digi XBee PyCharm IDE plugin to filter the supported platforms.
  • lib - The lib/ directory contains Python modules that extend the standard API of your device. You can either import these libraries in your project using the Digi XBee PyCharm IDE plugin or copy them manually inside your project structure.
  • platforms - This folder contains the definition and images for the Digi products supporting Python. This information is used by the Digi XBee PyCharm IDE plugin to list the supported platforms.
  • samples - Files in the samples/ directory are organized by feature. For example, network contains samples related to XBee networks and configuration contains samples demonstrating how to configure XBee devices.
  • typehints - This folder contains the API definitions of the Python modules available in the Digi devices. These definitions are used by the Digi XBee PyCharm IDE plugin for syntax checking, code completion and refactoring.

Usage

For information on how to get started with Python in Digi products, see the Applications section of your device documentation.
