 sat-rs example
 ======
 
-# Installing the OBSW client
+This crate contains an example application which simulates an on-board software.
+It uses various components provided by the sat-rs framework to do this. As such, it shows how
+a more complex real on-board software could be built from these components.
+The application opens a UDP server on port 7301 to receive telecommands.
 
+You can run the application using `cargo run`. The `simpleclient` binary target sends a
+ping telecommand and then verifies the telemetry generated by the example application.
+It can be run like this:
+
+```rs
+cargo run --bin simpleclient
+```
+
+This repository also contains a more complex client using the
+[Python tmtccmd](https://github.com/robamu-org/tmtccmd) module.
+
+# Using the tmtccmd Python client
+
+The python client requires a valid installation of the
+[tmtccmd package](https://github.com/robamu-org/tmtccmd).
+
+It is recommended to use a virtual environment to do this. To set up one in the command line,
+you can use `python3 -m venv venv` on Unix systems or `py -m venv venv` on Windows systems.
+After doing this, you can check the [venv tutorial](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html)
+on how to activate the environment and then use the following command to install the required
+dependency:
+
+```sh
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Alternatively, if you would like to use the GUI functionality provided by `tmtccmd`, you can also
+install it manually with
+
+```sh
+pip install tmtccmd[gui]
+```
+
+After setting up the dependencies, you can simply run the `main.py` script to send commands
+to the OBSW example and to view and handle incoming telemetry. The script and the `tmtccmd`
+framework it uses allow to easily add and expose additional telecommand and telemetry handling
+as Python code.
