FELIX-IO

The felix-io package provide read (and write) access to the bitfields of the registermap and i2c components of the FELIX cards. The package consists of three modules:

1. felix-io-api: the interface in the form of an API
2. felix-io: the server implementation in python in the form of a FASTAPI webserver connected to one or more felix cards
3. felix-io-client: a Python and C++ client to call the api
