Hi Sean, Just to explicitly add to wes's advice - in addition to the telnet interface on localhost, you can "just" install full blown casperfpga to your red pitaya, and connect via localhost using the scripts you already have. Unless your performance requirements are such that python is out of the question, this is probably the easiest thing to do.
