Using Waveforms SDK

[Chinmay Chobe]

Hi, I am trying to use the Waveforms SDK with my AD2. And even though I kinda have a script in Python, I have no idea how to actually use it. Any suggestions?

Hello @Chinmay Chobe.

The following reference page regarding 'Getting Started with WaveForms SDK' is a helpful resource.

Hi @Chinmay Chobe

Please note that the Python examples provided by Digilent use the DWF library directly via the Python ctypes package. In practical terms, this means that you will need to put a lot of attention to the correct low-level types as expected by DWF; this will introduce a lot of noise in your code, and is quite error-prone.

A possible alternative is to use the pydwf package (which I made). You can find it here and install it using "pip install pydwf". This package takes care of all the type conversions and provides exception-based error handling. In addition, it provides elaborate documentation and examples that (I hope) are a bit easier to get you started than the examples provided by Digilent.
