Hello, I have some questions.

1- LibCsp is written in C but it has Python bindings. How can I use these bindings?

2- I  wonder what kind of hardware is needed to use this protocol. Does it need something special?

3- Wha kind of data is the protocol   appropriate for ? For example, it must be hard to send images from space because of their size. Do you use a compression method? How do you compress?

Thanks in advance, for your helps.

Sorry for the late answer.

1. You build a shared object by configuring with --enable-bindings. The you link that into your Python program using ctypes. 

2. It is written for embedded systems. From 8bit avr's and up to PC with Linux is supported. 

3. CSP has a UDP like transport protocol that is best for datagrams with limited length yes. However there is also an RDP protocol that is excellent for transferring pictures. 

Regards.
Johan.

Thanks for your answer. But I still wonder that what kind of tool like antennas etc. I should use during data transmission.

Also, between which frequency does the protocol work?

Thank you.
