Hi Michael,

thank you for your reply. Yes your clarification is correct.

The block I'm trying is of type hier2_block. Meanwhile I found an older post

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2015-10/msg00008.html

describing the same problem. But the gnuradio code has been modified since then, but it seems that the proposal in this post has been incorporated.


I tested with the current git/master and git/next. The problems are the same.

I think it depends on the hier2 block, as I can setup a simple flowgraph with a signal source ( this is of type sync block ) that works.

Now I'm trying to understand the code of hier_block2_detail::msg_connect. But at the moment this is hard stuff for me.
I'll report if I get a solution.

Hi Volker - Just to clarify:

You've added an -optional- input async message port to a block that currently does just 
streaming. If you -do not- try to connect to this new port, then everything works as desired 
& as before. If you -do- try to connect to the port then you get the runtime error 
"insufficient connected output ports (1 needed, 0 connected)". Yes?

"Once upon a time" ... there was, and as it turns out still is (just tried using 
the current GIT master of GR), a bug in the code that handles connections for mixed streams 
and -input- async messages, which results in the runtime error you're encountering. I can 
provide a very simplified OOT that shows this error; I tried to track it down once but got 
sidetracked & never figured it out. Maybe I'll give it a go again this coming week ... 
or, maybe you can?

Sorry for the bad news! - MLD

Hi,

I'm trying to add an message port to my  working oot module fcdproplus
to be able to control the frequency by an message from a qtgui sink.

I used the analog signal source as guide and implemented a message sink
in the grc description, registered the in port, and defined  a handler
function like described in the tutorial.

I can run my example of a simple fm receiver as before, but when I
connect the message out port of a qtgui sink to my message in port of my
oot block,

I get the following error message:


./FMRadio.py

needed, 0 connected)

These are the connections:


         ##################################################
          # Connections
          ##################################################
          self.msg_connect((self.qtgui_sink_x_0, 'freq'),

          self.connect((self.analog_fm_demod_cf_0, 0),
(self.audio_sink_0, 0))
          self.connect((self.analog_fm_demod_cf_0, 0),

          self.connect((self.fcdproplus_fcdproplus_0, 0),

          self.connect((self.fcdproplus_fcdproplus_0, 0),
(self.qtgui_sink_x_0, 0))
          self.connect((self.low_pass_filter_0, 0),
(self.analog_fm_demod_cf_0, 0))

If I remove the line

self.msg_connect((self.qtgui_sink_x_0, 'freq'),
(self.fcdproplus_fcdproplus_0, 'freq'))


from my python script he error message disappears.

What am I doing wrong?


Any help is appreciated.
