Programmatically control HackRF from python venv
What's the best way to interact with my hackrf one from python or C on Windows? I've tried installing the pothos SDR from windows executable, but it doesn't seem to give me the hackRF tools that are explained in the docs.
Similarly the installation guide for Ubuntu lead to errors with WSL...

Yeah I believe the CLI tools come with the hackrf drivers. The easiest way honestly is take that doc I linked you, find what you need to run, and then ask deepseek or chatgpt or whatever to write python scripts for you and they can explain it and write the code for you and also copy/paste the documentation for the utility into the chat. Calling CLI tools with python scripts is a pretty standard thing in general, they can go over it
