iu2frl-civ 0.0.16

A small library to communicate with ICOM devices using CI-V protocol

IU2FRL ICOM CI-V Library

Python library for communicating with iCOM radios using CI-V.

Compatible devices

• IC-7300 (fw: 1.42)

Usage

1. Installing dependencies

• Install the package using pip install iu2frl-civ

2. Importing the module

• Import the module using from iu2frl_civ import iu2frl_civ

3. Creating the device object

• Initialize the target device using device = iu2frl_civ.Device("0x94", port="/dev/tty", debug=True)

Where:

• 0x94 is the transceiver address

Then, additional arguments can be passed:

• port = "/dev/ttyUSB0": communication port of the transceiver
• baudrate: int = 19200: baudrate of the device
• debug = False: useful to troubleshoot communication issues
• controller_address = "0xE0": address of the controller (this library)
• timeout = 1: serial port communication timeout in seconds
• attempts = 3: how many attempts to perform in case of timeout or errors

4. Use the radio object

Once the device object is created, any supported method can be used, for example:

• Power on the transceiver: device.power_on()
• Get the current frequency: device.read_operating_frequency()

Some test code

Some sample commands are available in the tests/main.py file
