I am still new to the python when it comes to parsing data. I'd like solve this problem that can be seen in the image and the respective "telemetry.bin" and 'TLM_LIST.csv" are in the google drive folder. I am able to operate the csv file using pandas but don't how to deal with the bin file as it throws output like below:

  • What have you tried so far? Can you share your code with us? – jv95 May 20 '20 at 18:12
  • The binary data has to have some format and without knowing that, there really isn't anything we can do to help. If this is a standard format, there is a good chance that a python module has been written to parse it. – tdelaney May 20 '20 at 18:12
  • The format is basically just like TLM_LIST.csv (the file is in the drive). – Rushikesh Badgujar May 20 '20 at 18:14
  • I tried following, the output I get is "None" may be due to incorrect format. It is actually a dataframe. from beacontools import parse_packet with open("telemetry.bin","rb") as b_f: data=b_f.read() print(data) da = parse_packet(data) – Rushikesh Badgujar May 20 '20 at 18:15

  • Does this answer your question? [Regular expression parsing a binary file?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5618988/regular-expression-parsing-a-binary-file) – Red May 20 '20 at 19:10
  • I am still trying your suggestion. – Rushikesh Badgujar May 21 '20 at 07:05
  • Correct me if I am wrong. Obviously the data in bin file is just like that TLM_LIST.csv file with columns ['byte','commands', and so on]. So during parsing (converting data to readable format), do I need to each column to store the respective parsed data in it? – Rushikesh Badgujar May 21 '20 at 07:08
