[Discuss-gnuradio] Custom gnuradio GUI for OOT blocks

2019-03-10 Thread Laura Arjona
Hi, I have designed a gnu-radio system with different blocks (pre-defined and out-of-tree) to run on a USRP. I want to create a custom GUI, where the user can modify the behavior of the OOT blocks. I have developed the OOT blocks in C++. (it would be basically call functions of the c++ code

Marcus and Marcus, All understood. I will try to implement an alternative strip chart functionality in my flowchart program as Marcus L. Indicated is possible using the Qt Time Sink, Qt Vector Sink, and Vector Add Const blocks to replace my currently working WX version. Interesting.

Hi Wayne, I am using the strip-chart option of the WX GUI Scope Sink block in GRC to perform drift scans in my radio astronomy project. Works like a champ! Select “Stripchart” in the Trigger option. Regards, Joe > On Mar 10, 2019, at 3:24 PM, Wayne Hilliard wrote: > > Hello, >

Hello, Question. Has there been any movement on adding a strip chart option to this gui? I know WX_gui usage is discouraged and i have a radio astronomy app I've been working on that uses QT_Gui. I've looked around some on github and don't have a clue on where I would start to try something on

Hello Talha, Qt and Qwt are different softwares. Gr-radar depends on Qt4 and Qwt6. The error has to do with Qwt. I guess you don’t have the correct version of Qwt installed. PS: Please avoid to send pictures to mailing lists, since this takes up space in everyone's mailbox. Better use a service

Hi Kristoff, Benny and Alban, TL;DR: Benny is exactly on spot. Other than that, decimate your signal if you know the bandwidth is less than your sampling rate, and don't put too much hope on audio encoders. Long Version: Point is: the signal coming from your SDR device, whatever that might be,

Hi all, Simple and short question: What is the best way to compress a raw I/Q file? A generic compression-tool like gzip, zip? Or are there better and specialised tools? Is converting the data in the I/Q file from float to short an option? Kristoff
