Being new to gnuradio, there is a wealth of knowledge I don't have yet so that is why I am here.
GRC is obviously an extremely clever and useful tool for those who can use it. One draws the picture and GRC spits out the thousand or more words of python needed to describe the radio created in the diagram. Those of us computer users who happen to be blind have to be content with the text version of programming and one of the best ways to begin to understand how to do it is to start with something that works and keep breaking it until it does what we want it to do. Three interesting projects I want to per sue is to be able to monitor DMR communications systems in our area, decode packets from a weather station and receive the little data bursts from the valve stems on the tires on our Toyota. Actually, I bet that is a generic system that is used on a lot of cars in which each tire outputs a packet every 64 or so seconds containing an ID address for the tire, (think MAC address) plus it's temperature and internal pressure. Those data are sent on a very short burst on about 315 MHZ. When you see a light on your dash complaining about tire pressure, it's either low or the battery in the $600 valve stem transmitter has given up the ghost and the computer in your car that manages the tires and other systems has not heard from that stem in several minutes. Is there a repository of known-functional python code files one can use as examples for correctly stringing the gnu radio modules together? Finally for now, can one import python code in to GRC and get the GUI diagram (flowgram)? I am retired, now, but when I first began to program in perl about 5 years ago, I got howls from coworkers about indentation and format even though a given program might work. It turns out there is a program called perltidy that will take your flea-bitten code and make it beautiful. So, I want to start in python on the right foot and write code that can be shared if necessary.
