[USRP-users] Example: sending samples in bursts and controlling GPIO pins

2017-07-13 Thread Piotr Krysik via USRP-users
Hi all, Yesterday I had a problem with configuring GPIO pins in USRP X310. I wanted to send signal in bursts to get pulsed transmission and to turn on GPIO pin when transmitting, but what I did didn't work correctly. I received very good advices from Nate Temple on IRC together with custom
