Detailed Description

Represents a frame of data to be sent to or which was received 
from an XBee device

Member Function Documentation

checksum: None -> single checksum byte

checksum adds all bytes of the binary, unescaped data in the 
frame, saves the last byte of the result, and subtracts it from 
0xFF. The final result is the checksum

Definition at line 29 of file frame.py.

def xbee.frame.APIFrame.escape (   data) [static]
escape: byte string -> byte string

When a 'special' byte is encountered in the given data string,
it is preceded by an escape byte and XORed with 0x20.

Definition at line 105 of file frame.py.

def xbee.frame.APIFrame.fill (   self,
  byte 
)
fill: byte -> None

Adds the given raw byte to this APIFrame. If this APIFrame is marked
as escaped and this byte is an escape byte, the next byte in a call
to fill() will be unescaped.

Definition at line 123 of file frame.py.

len_data: None -> (MSB, LSB) 16-bit integer length, two bytes

len_bytes counts the number of bytes to be sent and encodes the 
data length in two bytes, big-endian (most significant first).

Definition at line 72 of file frame.py.

output: None -> valid API frame (binary data)

output will produce a valid API frame for transmission to an 
XBee module.

Definition at line 82 of file frame.py.

def xbee.frame.APIFrame.parse (   self)
parse: None -> None

Given a valid API frame, parse extracts the data contained
inside it and verifies it against its checksum

Definition at line 156 of file frame.py.

Definition at line 141 of file frame.py.

def xbee.frame.APIFrame.verify (   self,
  chksum 
)
verify: 1 byte -> boolean

verify checksums the frame, adds the expected checksum, and 
determines whether the result is correct. The result should 
be 0xFF.
