About SmartMeshSDK

The SmartMesh SDK is a Python package which simplifies the integration of a SmartMesh IP or a SmartMesh WirelessHART network into your application. It implements the Application Programming Interface (API) of the device it is connected to. A set of sample applications are included in the SmartMesh SDK, allowing a programmer to quickly understand the API and use it as part of a larger system.

SmartMeshSDK Features

Complete API definitions. Supports the full API of the SmartMesh IP Manager, SmartMesh IP Mote, SmartMesh WirelessHART Manager, and SmartMesh WirelessHART Mote. No need to copy-paste command definitions.
Low-level connectors. Enables your application to connect to all Dust Networks devices, over all transport media, including serial, XML-RPC and SerialMux. No need to develop low-level modules.
dustUI visuals library. A set of standard GUI elements with a common look-and-feel which can easily be customized.
Full source code. Delve into the inner-workings of the SmartMeshSDK.
Example applications. Both GUI based, and script based. Provided in source code and binary formats.
Fully documented. High level hands-on introduction guide, as well as Doxygen-based source code documentation.
Portable. Does not require anything beyond a standard Python installation. Runs on any platform which supports Python, including Microsoft Windows, Linux and MacOS.
Extensible. Is designed to be integrated inside a larger application.

Where should I download the SmartMesh SDK from?

In summary, you have two choices:

if you just want to run the sample applications on a Windows computer: http://www.linear.com/docs/43297
if you are a programmer interested in working with the source code: https://github.com/dustcloud/smartmeshsdk

Both options contains the same version of the SmartMesh SDK.

More explanation:

The Python SmartMesh SDK repository has the following directory structure:
- src/ contains the same source code as you can find on GitHub (see below)
- win/ contains a compiled Windows executable for each sample application, built using the py2exe utility, allowing you to run the sample application on a Windows computer without having to install Python.
- doc/ contains the documentation extracted from source code by using the Doxygen utility.
- api/ contains some example C code for basic operations like HDLC framing.
https://github.com/dustcloud/smartmeshsdk contains the same source code as above, but without the pre-built documentation and executables.
https://github.com/dustcloud/smartmeshsdk/releases contains the latest builds of the compiled Windows executable for each sample application

Once you have the SmartMesh SDK downloaded, see the Getting Started section for further instructions.
