Very simple and easy to get started

Installation

pip install goxlr

Getting Started

Here’s some sample code to get started with this package that pings the utility’s daemon.

import asyncio

from goxlr import GoXLR
from goxlr.types import Fader, Channel


async def main():
    async with GoXLR() as xlr:
        await xlr.set_fader(Fader.A, Channel.Headphones)
        await xlr.set_volume(Channel.Headphones, 127)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

You may have noticed that we use with to manage the connection to the GoXLR. You may also wish to use the more traditional open and close methods which is acceptable too.

import asyncio

from goxlr import GoXLR

async def main():
    xlr = GoXLR()
    await xlr.open()

    ping = await xlr.ping()
    print(ping)  # Ok

    await xlr.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
