## xrf-brute-force.py
#!/usr/bin/python
# This is a crude brute-force tool to remove the cycling on a XRF module (http://shop.ciseco.co.uk/xrf-wireless-rf-radio-uart-rs232-serial-data-module-xbee-shape-arduino-pic-etc/)
# What it does is that every 20 ms it sends out a : WAKE + REMOVE INTLV + Reboot command
# This should be running when you power up your XRF (or when the XRF sends the battery reading, but on startup is easier)
#
# Start the script, start the XRF and it should reset straight away. Afterwards it will boot with the regular STARTED commands, without cycle.
# Everything else is the same (i.e device name etc.)
#
# 1. You need a XRF connected to your computer,
#    Either a USB XRF receiver/sender(http://shop.ciseco.co.uk/urf-radio-module-and-serial-inteface-via-usb/)
#    Or a XRF radio connected to your Arduino with a slice of pi
#
# 2. You need python-serial installed, to install it:
#		sudo pip install pyserial
#   	or:
#   	sudo apt-get install py-serial
#   	or:
#   	sudo easy_install pyserial
#
# 3. You need to know the /dev/ adress to your XRF, these are usually:
#
# 		/dev/tty.usbmodem000001 	- If you'r on MAC and you have a USB XRF
# 		/dev/ttyAMA0				- Slice of pi, raspberry
#		/dev/ttyACM0				- USB XRF on raspberry
#
