# radio2.py  15/04/2015  D.J.Whale
#
# New version of the radio driver, with most of the fast stuff pushed into C.
#
# NOTE 1: This is only used for OOK transmit & FSK transmit at the moment.
# FSK receive is currently being re-implemented in radio.c

# NOTE 2: Also there is an idea to do a python wrapper, build the C code
# for an Arduino and wrap it with a simple serial message handler.
# This would then make it possible to use the Energenie Radio on a Mac/PC/Linux
# machine but by still using the same higher level Python code.
# All you would need is a different radio.py that marshalled data to and from
# the Arduino via pyserial.

#TODO: Should really add parameter validation here, so that C code doesn't have to.
#although it will be faster in C (C could be made optional, like an assert?)
