Hi Albin Marcus GQRX actually has something along those lines since the UI and their FFT visualization widget is not a GR block object. They just send snapshot out via a callback. Now you won't be able to use GRC or have your block easily integrate like other visualization block do. Even just

Hi Marcus, Thanks for your reply. This is just hacking for fun and I plan to put any code I produce on github so im not really concerned about licensing at the moment... The idea was to make the instrumentation blocks work well and native on mac... I was also looking into hacking the

Hi, I'm pretty new to gnuradio so please bear with me if I have missed something. I finally managed to get everything up and running on my macbook pro yesterday (with funcube dongle pro+) and experimented with building an out of tree block. I'm interested in writing some instrumentation blocks

Hi Albin, GUI interaction is usually a bit tricky. Generally, GNU Radio is also meant to be used as a library that your main application uses for signal processing, and you can get the raw samples in and out of your GNU Radio flowgraph from any native application, but I don't really think

Hi Albin, the point is that Sylvain is right, building your own visualization GNU Radio blocks is harder than using the data GR gives you in an application, only communicating the results in and out. That's basically because every GUI toolkit has its own idea of how to handle threading and
