Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] usrp2_wfm_rcv.py

Hi,

I just tried running the example on a RFX2400 and it seems to work for me. 

I think the error is caused when the usrp2object.gain_range() command returns a step size of 0.00000 (like on the BasicRX). 

As a quick fix you could try replacing:

        myform['gain'] = \
            form.quantized_slider_field(parent=self.panel, sizer=hbox, label="Gain",
                                        weight=3, range=self.u.gain_range(),
                                        callback=self.set_gain)

with:

        myform['gain'] = \
            form.quantized_slider_field(parent=self.panel, sizer=hbox, label="Gain",
                                        weight=3, range=(0.0,70.0,0.03125),
                                        callback=self.set_gain)

I couldn't find a reference to the Flex2400 DB ID after a quick look at the USRP2 code which I think means the code will treat the daughterboard as if it was a BasicRX.

http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/177212 suggests you can update the EEPROM to convert the board to an RFX2400.

Hi Johnathan,

Have you had any luck with this issue?  The same is happening on my FLEX2400 with USRP2.

Here is the full error message:

This appears to be a bug in usrp2_wfm_rx.py, dealing with setting up
the gain slider control in the GUI.  I understand why this is
happening with the BasicRX or LFRX, but not yet with the RFX2400.
I'll look into this further soon.
