Sorry if this is a duplicate/newbie question (didn't find anything searching). When going thru the python examples. I came across a race condition where the thread would start to run prior to object's constructor completing. The fix is to manually move the code generated for starting the probe thread to the very end of the constructor.
If this "bug" is open already thanks for your time, if not here are some more details: Tutorial 3, section 3.1.5, you're asked to modify the probe thread to reference members of the class to set_ampl and set_freq, those functions in-turn access members of the object, which may not have been initialized yet because the thread runs while the constructor is still running. https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/Guided_Tutorial_GNU_Radio_in_Python The symptom: Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 754, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "power.py", line 95, in _variable_function_probe_0_probe self.set_ampl(0.3) File "power.py", line 174, in set_ampl self.analog_sig_source_x_0.set_amplitude(self.ampl) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gnuradio/gr/hier_block2.py", line 92, in __getattr__ return getattr(self._impl, name) AttributeError: 'top_block_sptr' object has no attribute 'analog_sig_source_x_0' The resolution: diff -rupN if_else.py if_else2.py --- if_else.py 2017-03-29 13:20:32.000000000 -0400 +++ if_else2.py 2017-03-29 13:19:37.000000000 -0400 @@ -101,7 +101,6 @@ class if_else(gr.top_block, Qt.QWidget): time.sleep(1.0 / (10)) _variable_function_probe_0_thread = threading.Thread(target=_variable_function_probe_0_probe) _variable_function_probe_0_thread.daemon = True - _variable_function_probe_0_thread.start() self.qtgui_time_sink_x_0 = qtgui.time_sink_f( 1024, #size @@ -160,6 +159,7 @@ class if_else(gr.top_block, Qt.QWidget): self.connect((self.analog_sig_source_x_0, 0), (self.blocks_throttle_0, 0)) self.connect((self.analog_sig_source_x_1, 0), (self.qtgui_time_sink_x_0, 0)) self.connect((self.blocks_throttle_0, 0), (self.probe, 0)) + _variable_function_probe_0_thread.start() def closeEvent(self, event): self.settings = Qt.QSettings("GNU Radio", "if_else") Thanks
