 Hi,
 
 I'm trying to work out the best way to connect a PDU to tagged stream
 block
 to a modulator.

By a modulator, do you mean a bit - complex symbol mapper?
There's no reason you can't directly connect these. Have another look at
the tagged stream manual page: You can connect a tagged stream  to any
non-rate changing non-tagged-stream block.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Where can I get gr-air-modes for GNUradio 3.6.5

2014-01-13 Thread Cheng Chi
Hi Nick,

Thanks. It works fine.

I've another question. When using the modes_rx program, is there any option
that I can specify to save the original sampled baseband data?

Best regards,
Cheng Chi

 Hi,

 I just pushed a tag called 3.6 representing the last commit of
 gr-air-modes which was 3.6-compatible. Please note that a lot of the newer
 features of gr-air-modes are unavailable in this version. To use this
 version, do a git remote update from the gr-air-modes folder, then git
 checkout 3.6.

 Best,
 Nick

 I try to install gr-air-modes from the git source, but it seems the code

Thanks Martin,

The problem with connecting the tagged stream directly to the modulator,
is then
how do you align bits to the byte boundary etc. after the demodulator,
which is the main issue I was thinking with that.

Well, it all depends on what was in the original PDU, doesn't it :)
If you don't have a preamble etc., the packet modulator will do the
trick, but it ignores length tags! Perhaps you can have a look at the
OFDM examples, where custom headers are included.

I am running Fedora 20 on three systems and have not seen any issues.

 My initial issue was with gr_modtool not finding boost 1.53 libs; legit
 since I had updated to 1.54 with the OS update.  I also did rm the build
 directory completely when running cmake to ensure no contamination from
 previous builds each compilation.

The question is why gr_modtool is still looking for boost 1.53 and not
1.54. Are there remnants of boost-1.53 still on your system?

Has anybody ran into issues with or had success with installing Gnuradio on
Fedora 20 with Boost 1.54?

I am currently updating my system from Fedora 19 and Boost 1.53 and am
running into build errors on Gnuradio master branch and v3.7.2.1 tag (at
libgnuradio-blocks-3.7.*.so for both).  For the OS update, I did not do a
clean install of the OS (not preferred, but this is on a work machine and I
didn't want to take the time to reset my development environment).

My initial issue was with gr_modtool not finding boost 1.53 libs; legit
since I had updated to 1.54 with the OS update.  I also did rm the build
directory completely when running cmake to ensure no contamination from
previous builds each compilation.

Thank you in advance for help in this issue.

Indeed, don't use a throttle block for anything other than a simulation not involving hardware.
What sample-rate are you using, and are you getting overrun or underrun indications ('O' or 'U' printed).

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gr-rds

2014-01-13 Thread Michael Dickens
Hi Ulf - If this is still an issue, here's my US$0.02 worth:

Yes: Python can't find the module.  If you installed into /opt/local, then I 
agree with Bastian that the RDS Python related files were probably installed 
into /opt/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages .  If you look in that directory do 
you see any obviously named files?

I -highly- recommend against setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in your standard shell 
environment ... it will eventually lead to headaches.  The only reasonable time 
to use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is when running a script to do local testing / 
execution ... for example, CMake does this in make test, such that locally 
created libraries are found ahead of already installed ones.

That said, I'd bet that the issue is that CMake is not linking the RDS 
library/ies correctly.  You can check this if you can find the .so and/or 
.dylib created by this project (e.g.,
{{{
find . -name *.dylib
}}}
when you're in the RDS build directory; substitute .so for .dylib to look 
for the other type.  Then, once they are found, do otool -L filename to see 
what the linkage is.  I'll bet that either the self-id (the first entry; should 
be the exact filename including path as the actual library file), or one of the 
linked-to libraries is not correct.

CMake has settings to correct that, which I can pass on if this is the issue; 
it's an easy fix to some CMakeLists.txt files.

Hope this helps! - MLD

 Python can't find the module. It should be at

 export PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
 
 to you .bashrc.
 
 However, I ran into problems with the shared libraries when I installed it

Those U mean that your graph isn't able to to keep up with the 
notional sample-rate, either because of computational sluggishness, or 
because you aren't resampling appropriately within your flow-graph so 
that the hardware is receiving samples at the correct rate.
