donglora 1.0.0

DongLoRa host library — talk LoRa from Python over USB

DongLoRa Python Client

Python client library for talking to a DongLoRa device — either directly over USB or through the mux daemon.

Install

pip install donglora

Or with uv:

uv add donglora

Quick Start

import donglora as dl

ser = dl.connect()
dl.send(ser, "SetConfig", config=dl.DEFAULT_CONFIG)
dl.send(ser, "StartRx")

while True:
    pkt = dl.recv(ser)
    if pkt:
        print(pkt["rssi"], pkt["payload"].hex())

Connection Functions

Function	Description
connect()	Auto-detect: TCP mux, Unix socket mux, then USB serial
connect_default()	Convenience wrapper with default timeout
try_connect()	Like connect() but non-blocking — raises if no device found
connect_mux_auto()	Mux only — never falls back to USB serial
mux_connect()	Connect via Unix domain socket
mux_tcp_connect()	Connect via TCP

Module Structure

Module	Contents
donglora.protocol	Wire types, RadioConfig, encode/decode, constants
donglora.codec	COBS framing
donglora.discovery	USB device discovery by VID:PID
donglora.transport	MuxConnection (socket wrapper)
donglora.connect	Connection auto-detection and mux helpers
donglora.client	High-level send/recv/validate

Everything is re-exported from the top-level donglora package.

Dependencies

• cobs — COBS framing
• pyserial — USB serial communication

Optional extras: meshcore (crypto), orac (AI bot).
