Sorry, I just realized that there is a "Python Module" block in the flowgraph with the ID "spectro_helper." Do I need to modify the code in this block, and if so, how?

Thanks so much!

This should "just work(tm)"  what version of GR are you running--perhaps it doesn't have Python Module support?

Hello again,

Ok, so I cloned the code from the spectro_radiometer repository, and opened the .grc file. It looks like almost everything is ok, except I am getting the error, "spectro_helper not defined." Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I suspect this is because I didn't install the spectro_helper block; but I am not sure how to do this. Do you have any advice/steps I should take? Sorry for the newbie question; I'm not very experienced at this kind of stuff!

Thanks in advance. Have a good afternoon!

Ellie

Thanks for the info about spectro_radiometer - that looks really helpful. Thank you so much for providing these resources for amateur radio astronomy!

Have a good evening,

Hello Ellie White:

Is this what you are looking for? https://github.com/patchvonbraun/simple_ra

Many open source projects (not just GNU Radio) migrated from CVS/SVN to Git.

Note that I don't do much maint on simple_ra these days, since I've essentially replaced it with:

https://github.com/ccera-astro/spectro_radiometer

The wxGUI bits that simple_ra relies upon are being deprecated in Gnu Radio, and worse, recent versions of
  wxPython appear to have a memory leak somewhere that leads to simple_ra crashing after several hours
  of operation.

I'll admit that spectro_radiometer is less well documented than simple_ra, but easier to install.   It has higher
  performance than simple_ra, but due to use of the Qt widget sets, and a simpler internal structure.

Hello,

Quick question; I'm looking at a document by Marcus Leech for a 21cm radio telescope (not sure when it was written, or where I found it online - I printed it out a long time ago and just came across it while sorting paperwork) and I am interested in using the simple_ra module that was mentioned in this paper. I was just wondering if this is still available through CGRAN, or not? I've tried the command, svn co https://www.cgran.org/svn/projects/simple_ra but I keep getting errors. Thought I would check if this is due to something I'm doing wrong or if the address is defunct.

Thanks so much!

Ellie
