Digi-specific Python modules for programming

Several Digi-provided built-in modules apply to functionality in the ConnectPort X2e ZB. To learn

more about these built-in modules, go to:

http://www.digi.com/wiki/developer/index.php/ConnectPort_X2e

From that page, navigate to the information pages on these modules:

 digihw: Provides an interface to local hardware.

 idigimsg: This is an internal module with functions used by iDigi Dia and Smart Energy

Framework.

 rci: Provides a mechanism for processing arbitrary RCI request strings, as well as a

means to set up callbacks to allow Python scripts to respond to remote requests made via

specialized RCI commands.

 uptime: Allows access to the Linux gettime function for various clocks.

 watchdog: A safeguard that an application can use for critical operations, in which, if

the application threads do not service their watchdog within the promised interval, the

entire system reboots.

 xbee: A collection of utility methods for programming the XBee RF module on the

ConnectPort X2e ZB device. It also includes the Python XBee socket interface support.

 digisms: For low-level, generic SMS message handling.

 idigisms: For communicating using iDigi’s SMS protocol to/from iDigi.
