Connect Raspberry Pi to Flex 6K
I'm looking for some example code to connect a RPi 3B+ to my 6700 using either FlexLib or the Ethernet API. For the time being I want to use the RPi programming environment for generating the code (IDLE/NANO). Ultimately, I want to be able to read/set freq, mode, filter, etc.

My suggestion would be to skip discovery packets and hard code your IP to get things going quickly (I remember discovery frustrating me).
You did not mention what OS you plan to run on your Pi? I have several Pi doing various things. All run the Raspian Linux.
I have another Linux box that I am currently writing a flex connect system using standard ol C and C++.
I have a friend Linux pro who bought my flex 6500. He will be writing some python stuff.
I do have some C stuff given to me by another ham that I have not extracted the pieces from but it was designed to read flex frequency an control some antennas and tuners. I could probably get a zip of that to you. Again it is destined for C and Linux
