You must have python and pip installed.

Install dependencies only:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Install from source:

$ pip install ./python

Install package from PyPI (use sudo ... to install globally):

$ pip install sbp

Setup using a virtual environment

Setup and activate the virtualenv:

$ virtualenv .env && source .env/bin/activate

Install py.test in the virtualenv:

$ pip install pytest-virtualenv

$ pip install pytest-cov

Finally, proceed to the standard setup instructions.

Usage Examples

Simple example

Receives SBP messages over a serial port, decodes MSG_BASELINE messages and prints them out. See simple.py .

Run this example with:

$ python -m sbp.client.examples.simple -p /path/to/serial/port

Sending SBP messages over UDP

Receives SBP messages over a serial port and sends all incoming messages to a UDP socket. See udp.py .

Run this example with:

$ python -m sbp.client.examples.udp -s /path/to/serial/port

Testing

To run the tests and check for coverage:

$  py.test -v --cov sbp tests/

To run the tests without suppressing stdout output:

$ py.test -v -s –cov sbp tests/
