hi,
I amplified using Bamp = gr.multiply_const_cc(8192) but still doesn't
work.

 hi,
 
 I wrote the code below to transmit a file. although i don't receive any

 looks that it doesn't transmit any thing. can some one tell me what is
 the
 problem  
 
 The output of the dbpsk modulator is on the unit circle.
 You need to mulitiple the output by a constant to get it into a
 reasonable range for transmission.  Try multiplying by 8192 using
 gr.multiply_const_cc.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Getting samples from Gnuradio to c++

2008-06-16 Thread Sebastiaan Heunis
Can anyone please help me?

I want to capture samples from Gnuradio and get them to a c++
application in real-time.  I then want to calculate the ambiguity
function and display it on a contour plot.  What is the best way to do
this?  What I have in mind is to use Qwt with Qt for this, but then I
will need to get the samples to c++ in real-time.

Thank you very much.

Write your samples to a UDP_sink, with the packets addressed to
localhost (127.0.0.1).  Then you can write a simple UDP reader
in C++ to get the data in realtime.

   -- or --

Use usrp_rx_cfile and specify a file that goes somewhere you like.
E.g., a named pipe (see man mkfifo), or you could write to stdout on
Linux like this:

  $ usrp_rx_cfile -R A -f freq -d decim -g gain /proc/self/fd/1 | 
my-c++-app


[We could of course change the interface so that it would write to
stdout if no file was specified...]

Firas, thanks for your untiring effort to get this underway with your
initial documentation.

It's important that, with a fast-moving target like GNU Radio and
USRP, the documentation be in a form that is easily updatable.  The
wiki concept allows a community of contributors to review and update
this content in small pieces with minimal effort, without having to
explicitly coordinate amongst themselves beforehand.

Rakesh, by wikifying this content, you've really kicked off a
sustainable effort.

Thanks again to both of you for making the USRP more accessible.  Open
source efforts thrive on volunteer labor and you've made it far easier
for people to contribute to documentation.

[Discuss-gnuradio] How hard would it be?

2008-06-16 Thread KevinZ

Hi, I'm a grad student looking into gnuRadio/USRP for a project and had a
question. Looking everything over, it's all very intimidating. None of the
people I work with are coders, nor do we have a lot of experience with RF
hardware. We're hoping to basically output RF range signals (sine waves) for
jamming type purposes. How difficult would you all estimate it would be to
get such a basic system running?

Thanks!

[Discuss-gnuradio] Broken USRP report

2008-06-16 Thread Vincenzo
Hi everybody,

I've got really no idea of what happened.. I have been working a few
hours with my USRP, then I switched it off for about an hour. Then I
came back, re-plugged power into it and I got 'Unable to find USRP#0'.

I checked the led and it was not flashing.

The fuse F501 seems ok (I can still measure a 6V tension past it with my
tester)

The fan spins as always.

It's quite a new bought one: Ser=2687

Can anyone help with suggestion to figure out the problem?

thanks

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Getting samples from Gnuradio to c++

2008-06-16 Thread Josh Blum
You can create a named pipe with mkfifo /tmp/fifo. Connect your gnuradio 
stream to a gr.file_sink(item_size, '/tmp/fifo'). And in your c++ 
program, you can read from the fifo just like a regular file.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Small Intel Based Computers for GNURadio

2008-06-16 Thread Eric Cottrell
Hello,

I occasionally travel and want to take GNURadio with me.  I wonder what laptops 
or small form factor systems (like ITX) work well with GNURadio.

My current laptop, a Z60t, uses a 1.7 Pentium M.  It is okay for most GNURadio 
apps but I get USRP overruns on other apps.  My Core 2 Duo Desktop does better 
but it is too big.  A Quad Core Laptop would be great but there seems to be 
only a few products based on Desktop Chips.

I see there are some Intel ITX boards that will take a Core 2 Duo and seem to 
be a luggable or mobile solution.

 Thanks!

Independent of GNU Radio, even trying to have a sensible conversation
about jamming without a basic grip on RF or how receivers work or the
characteristics of the system you're trying to jam, is a pretty big
stretch.

There are lots of textbooks on jamming and anti-jamming.  You might
want to take a look at one or two to get yourself familiar with the
domain.  Look for titles containing words such as jamming, electronic
countermeasures, or electronic warfare.  Artech House and SciTech
publish a bunch of them.

  http://www.scitechpublishing.com

It's an interesting area.  Have fun!

Please explain to me how you are planning on transmitting on 2 meters

I've been happy with a whole series of X* ThinkPads.  Last I checked
they're shipping with Core 2 Duos in them, which gives you a pretty
serious 64-bit platform.  I'd probably opt for a 7200 RPM drive and
2 GB of RAM.

  

Hello,

I looked at the T and X series and I may get a T.  The new X61 with the 
dock does not look too bad.  I looked at the X300 but it is targeted 
more for low power.  I should hurry up or I will not be able to get one 
with Windows XP.


The thing I keep forgetting about a luggable box is you likely need to 
lug a display, keyboard, and mouse as well.


I still bought a new battery for the Z60t and while browsing decided to 
buy the new 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Motherboard and a Apex MI-100 mini-ITX 
case.  Mainly to play with for a possible car computer but I will try 
GNURadio.  I plan to load Debian on it.  I came close to buying a PS3 
for GNURadio use but it is not quite ready.


I am happy with the Thinkpad series and use a 600e and a 600x for other 
radio stuff.  It looks like the new series from Lenovo is the Ideapad.  
They can use the Thinkpad name only for a limited time and they want to 
give it up early.
