adrv9002 rssi using python

Hi, 

Please find the python API for reading the RSSI value 

error_code, rx_rssi_power= adrv9001_device_0.rx.Rssi_Read(
adrv9001_types.common_ChannelNumber_e.CHANNEL_x, rx_rssi_power)

adrv9001_types.common_ChannelNumber_e.CHANNEL_x : assign the channel number 1 or 2 in place of x 

rx_rssi_power intialte the variable.

This should give you the value of the RSSI in mdB.

Please see the below example 

In order to run this please do import the following module in the main file.

I see the door but it's stuck.  

I tried to install the python wrappers by selecting the optional python code during TES installation (Produce and Edit Python Sample Code - Documents - TES GUI & Software Support ADRV9001 – ADRV9007 - EngineerZone).  During the installation it opens a cmd window while installing the python code.  But it errors out, and it goes by so fast I can't see the error.  The installer reports success, but I still can't import the wrappers into python.  

Python 3.1.1 is installed.  

Is there no other source for these wrappers?

Hi,

I know what the problem here is just for your info below is the error that happens 

So use python version less than 3.11 and more than 3.7. I have used 3.10. This should help you move forward.

Thank you for that.  I have been warned to not change python versions out of fear that our code will break.  So that's out for now.  

I was shown that if I ssh into the unit and look under 

/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device1

I can find 

in_voltage0_rssi

and read the RSSI that way.  Can I access these variables directly from my python using a different port?  

Rahul, asking again - is it possible to get the value of in_voltage0_rssi easily, using a port other than ssh?  

Thanks
