Try this:

Setup the source block for 2 channels.

Set the subdev/frontend spec to "A:A A:B"

This makes DSP0 get the data from dboardA (the only one there), and
frontend A, and DSP1 gets from frontendB.

GrExtras features seem to be so crazy but somehow slowly leak into
gnuradio over time. :-)

So, if you are referencing the grextras the wiki page, I didnt mean to
say that the grextras was deprecated. I know things change at a fast
pace, but since people are using it and I will try to keep it maintained.

The next branch on grextras has functionally the same blocks on the
master branch, but make use of cool features in my scheduler work. So,
Its kind of a different beast.

Anyway, Im going to keep doing awesome things. Sorry for the confusion!

[Discuss-gnuradio] LFRX A:A and A:B as independent channels in GRC

2013-02-07 Thread mepard
Using just Gnu Radio Companion, is there a way to get the A and B inputs of an 
Ettus LFRX (or BasicRX) in an N210 as independent channels?

Specifying A:AB as the subdevice and using a Complex-to-Float might work, but 
I'm wondering if the complex rx chain in the FPGA would conflate what are 
otherwise independent signals.

Hi Timo, no you're not missing anything. The constellation plotter is a
next/3.7 thing only. It must have slipped past when creating those
examples. That was a real headache, actually, trying to get scripts for
both versions that made sense. I rely so much these days on the features of
qtgui that are in next.

You should be able to change that to a normal qtgui.sink_c(...) and it
should work fine. Please let me know if it does and if there are any other
files that fail like this. Though, honestly, in the end, that file is about
the most uninteresting one in the group.

Hi,

the "COST-TERRA Summer School, Dublin, Ireland" slides at
http://www.trondeau.com/gr-tutorial/ are great. Thanks a lot, Tom!

However, is it possible that some of the examples use features that are

[Discuss-gnuradio] ofdm question

2013-02-07 Thread Pablo Belzarena
Hi everyone, I have a question about  ofdm benchmark. If I use
benchmark_tx.py and benchmark_rx.py without any change I have an error
rate below 10%.
However, if I only modify the benchmark_tx.py and I add only a
sleep(1) between packets transmissions like is shown in the following
code:

 while n < nbytes:
if options.from_file is None:
data = (pkt_size - 2) * chr(pktno & 0xff)
else:
data = source_file.read(pkt_size - 2)
if data == '':
break;
payload = struct.pack('!H', pktno & 0x) + data
send_pkt(payload)
n += len(payload)
print (n)
if options.discontinuous and pktno % 5 == 4:
time.sleep(1)
pktno += 1
time.sleep(1) # this is the line added
send_pkt(eof=True)

then the packets error rate is above 50%. Could someone explain me
where is the problem and how can I solve it?

Thanks in advance,

Pablo Belzarena.

Hi Sreeraj,

Python-blocks in next are not identical to those in grextras.
Check the blocks-tutorial on the wiki to get an idea how they look.

Hi Volker,

I'm guessing that you are using the master branch from the name of your
library? (not that that changes too much).

This strikes me as an issue with a library linking problem. I'd recommend
deleting your CMakeCache.txt file in your build directory, rerun cmake, and
then rebuild (might even want to 'make clean' in gr-qtgui). QwtScaleMap
definitely exists in Qwt 6.0.2, and I'm using it right now. I think
something just got confused in a version change somewhere.

Hi everyone,

Google has not yet officially announced a GSoC for this year, but the

The GNU Radio GSoC page is still here:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/GSoC

...and has been modified to make space for 2013-projects.

IDEAS
=
The first big part of this is a list of decent projects. Anyone can
contribute to this list without automatically signing up for anything.

So, I'd appreciate anyone starting to think about what would make a nice
project. Such a project should
* be possible in the GSoC timeframe (~3 months) and
* advance the GNU Radio project in some way.

Of course, it should also concur with Google's own rules and
requirements (check our wiki page and the GSoC FAQ from last year).

In 2012, we had lots of ideas that never made it into GSoC projects.
Perhaps they're still valid, and could therefore be suggested again. All
the old ideas have been left on the page as an inspiration.

At this point, all ideas are welcome, but the more specific and fleshed
out projects are, the more likely are that they will finally be accepted.

So, let's brainstorm!

MENTORS
===
I'm looking at YOU right now! Have you considered becoming a mentor for
the 2013 GSoC? You probably should.

Mentoring is a great way to do something good and advance the GNU Radio
project without actually having to do the hard work :)
Perhaps you have some expertise you'd like to bring into the project, or
you just like tutoring students--in any case, mentoring might be
something you'd enjoy.

Put briefly, a mentor supervises a student's work during the GSoC
duration and grades the work (one evaluation at mid-term and one at the
end).
Google has put up a great mentoring manual, which gives some insight
into what mentoring means: http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoring/

Speaking out of personal experience, I mentored the filter design
project last year. It was great fun, working across continents was not a
problem and the actual time spent wasn't too extreme.
I'll be happy to answer questions about mentoring on this list (if
they're not covered in Google's FAQs etc.)

PS: If you're a student looking to do a project, that's great--you can
(and should) also post ideas. However, please don't contact us yet
(on- or off-list) about specific projects. GSoC has a its own rules
about how this works, and we can't promise anything, anyway.

Hi Sreeraj,

Python-blocks in next are not identical to those in grextras.
Check the blocks-tutorial on the wiki to get an idea how they look.

[Discuss-gnuradio] grextras in "next"

2013-02-07 Thread Sreeraj Rajendran

Hi,

I was trying to modify some python blocks, coded using grextras, to use native 
gnuradio python block support(as grextras is a  standard feature from 3.6.3). I 
checked wrappers in gr/gateway.py and gr.block, set_auto_consume etc seems to 
be missing. Current grextras suggests basic_block, synch_block etc are 
depreciated. Is grextras integrated to gnuradio different or am I missing 
something?

[Discuss-gnuradio] Save the Date: Developer's Calls Reloaded

2013-02-07 Thread Martin Braun (CEL)
Hi everyone,

in 2013, the developer's calls will be back.
We'll also be back to our schedule of going to the 3rd Thursday of the
month.
As before, the dev calls will be open and we would enjoy your
participation.

The next developer call will be on

February 23, 2013 (Thursday)

We'll move the time of the call to:
* 1800 UTC
= 10AM Pacific
= 1PM Eastern
= 19:00 CET
(I'm assuming anyone else knows how to calculate their own local time
until we all use UTC).

I realise this is inconvenient for anyone from Asia/Oceania who'd like
to join, but this is how we can accomodate for the majority of the
people we know will be attending.

The agenda (subject to change) will include:
* Discussion of the dev calls themselves
* Evaluation of the bug tracker reboot
* FSF funding (announcement)
* Hackfest 2012: Are there any loose ends?
* 3.6.4 release
  * What's missing?
  * Will we need a 3.6.5?
* 3.7.0 release
* "The plan" for 2013, including:
  * GSoC (Google might have announced it by then)
  * Early hackfest (May/June-ish)
  * GRCon

*Note for GSoC enthusiasts*: There will be no discussion of details
concerning GSoC (precise projects etc.) unless Google suddenly publishes a
schedule that forces us to do so.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi,

I don't know much about messages and it's queues from the python side, but
maybe a hint to the C++ side will help you to continue.

It appears that the object you get back is a wrapped shared pointer. So
basically a pointer to a gr_message which's C++ interface is documented
here: http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/classgr__message.html
In C++ you can use the shared pointer like a usual pointer to that class
so I guess that's the same in gnuradio. Just try if you can get the length
of the message with returned_var.length()
Usually with the msg() member you return an unsigned char pointer to the
actual data of the message. My best guess would be that this is wrapped to
a list of numpy's uint8 values.

I hope that makes it possible for you to continue. Another possible source
might be the QA code for gr_msg_source and gr_msg_sink (if there is any)
which should deal with messages in python.

Yours
Martin
