Hi Marcus and all super-heros, Day 3 of trying to get gnuradio 3.8 to work with our custom code. I've tried following the porting guide, but seem to continue to need to apt-get or install this that and the other thing. 3.8 does seem to be installed. and gnuradio companion is launching. However

As said, I'm almost certain you can absorb that multiplication in anything else you're doing already. On Tue, 2019-12-03 at 21:00 -0300, Wheberth Damascena Dias wrote: > Yeah, You are right, > > My initial thougth was, UHD already needs to scale whatever comes in to the > DAC range. If it could t

Yeah, You are right, My initial thougth was, UHD already needs to scale whatever comes in to the DAC range. If it could take in account this extra scaling I could save the constant multiplier block. Best Regards. Em ter, 3 de dez de 2019 15:24, Müller, Marcus (CEL) escreveu: > I'd recommend no

Hi Glen - GR38 provides compatibility with Py27, so your old code should still work there ... once the GR37 specific parts are update to what GR38 requires. From a Python perspective, it should still work. We'd recommend creating a "maint-3.7" branch (or something that makes it clear that the branc

Hi Marcus, I I am planning to give a try to the GnuRadio 3.8 PPA. We are developing some OOT blocks and some rework may be needed to do so. I will take a look at the code, but I am inclined to change my application to eliminate the need of scaling in real time (scalling the QAM symbols for exampl

Hi Mr. Leech, Thank you for the information. I will look for another route. My aplication currently generates samples with gaussian distribution and unitary variance, fitting pretty much in the {-4.0, 4.0} range. This is why I need the scaling. Regards, Wheberth Em ter, 3 de dez de 2019 13:28

Hi This is a general question about upgrade to python 3 and gnu radio 3.8. We’ve got some custom C++ and Python code that will need to be installed. The python ran in version 2.7. This is working with gnuradio companion 3.7.13.4 How difficult a task is upgrading? A day/week/month? Thanks agai

U that's an ancient version of GNU Radio. Do you use any other UHD- linking software, or can you try our new PPA that would give you a modern GNU Radio 3.8.0.0? https://launchpad.net/~gnuradio/+archive/ubuntu/gnuradio-releases Anyway, for most USRPs "fullscale" actually should do some scaling

Hi all, not sure if I should send this here or at USRP list. I am trying to set the "fullscale" as a stream parameter of the USRP Sink block, but it have no effect. The idea is to avoid the use aof one block to scale the samples to [-1.0, +1.0] range May I be missing something? For reference I am
