You mean, mapping 1s and 0s to 1s and 0s? :) You can very simply implement an ASK modem with pulse shaping filters and some other blocks. I'm not sure about clock synchronization, though. -- M On 03/31/2017 01:17 PM, Qurat-Ul-Ann Akbar wrote: > Hello, > > Is ASK modulation implemented in

Being all things to everyone is tough. I recently contributed some code to support the openSUSE package manager, zypper, in pybombs. So universal support is kind of an evolving feature. Perhaps it would be a start to simply limit the initial virtualenv support to python2. I would suggest that

Please note that there's an open issue on how PyBOMBS and venvs are effectively broken (https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs/issues/363). There are also related issues regarding the fact that we don't know if we're running Python 2 or 3. So yeah, I know about this, and would love to see it fixed,

Both these problems probably stem from the same root cause. Try and load the underlying library file in Python (something like "cd build/swig; python -c 'import _channelsounder_swig.py'") and it'll most likely crash. That should clue you into what's going wrong. -- M On 03/30/2017 10:36 PM,

Hi Ruben, technically, I like the idea of having the scheduler do things like tagging final packets. That could be a low-overhead operation (happens only once in an application's livetime), and you could hack it into the scheduler relatively easy, but, to be honest, the last thing our scheduler
