neoradio2 Python library

Python bindings for libneoradio2 — the library for communicating with the Intrepid Control Systems neoRAD-IO2 family of ruggedized, isolated analog / digital / temperature DAQ devices.

Documentation

https://intrepidcs.github.io/libneoradio2/python/docs/html/

Installation

pip install neoradio2

Windows: pip.exe is usually located under the Scripts directory of your Python installation.

Linux — udev rules

So the device is accessible without root, install the udev rules. Download 99-intrepidcs.rules and install it:

sudo cp 99-intrepidcs.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

Then add your user to the users group and re-plug the device:

sudo usermod -aG users $USER

(log out and back in for the group change to take effect). If you'd rather write the rule by hand, the neoRAD-IO2 uses USB VID 093c, PID 1300:

SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="093c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1300", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="093c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1300", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"

Quick example

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import neoradio2

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Open and close all the attached neoRAD-IO2 devices
    for device in neoradio2.find():
        print(device)
        handle = neoradio2.open(device)
        # Do stuff here
        neoradio2.close(handle)

neoRAD-IO2 Product Line

The neoRAD-IO2 series is a family of ruggedized products that provide an isolated analog, digital or temperature interface to a PC via the PC's USB port. These tools can also be paired with Intrepid products that include a USB port such as neoVI ION, neoVI FIRE 2, RAD-Galaxy, and RAD-Gigalog. In addition, the neoRAD-IO2-CANHUB can power and convert the native UART signal to CAN or CAN FD for use in any CAN device.

The neoRAD-IO2 family communicates on an open source UART based serial communication protocol. Up to eight devices can be daisy chained. The chain length is limited by current supplied to the chain through USB. All neoRAD-IO2 devices have input to output isolation, and 2.5 kV isolation between each of the eight banks.

neoRAD-IO2-BADGE Quick Start

neoRAD-IO2-BADGE is a demo board for multi-channel analog measurement. The device mimics the neoRAD-IO2-AIN and neoRAD-IO2-PWRRLY products. Examples are here.
