Re: Error message in fm_rx and fm

Hi Christophe,

I think I got the same result as you mentioned.

$ locate fft_python: (it's more or less the same, the difference is the version of python3)

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gnuradio/fft/fft_python.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

$ python3 fm_rx3.py

window.__init__= <slot wrapper '__init__' of 'gnuradio.fft.fft_python.window' objects>

I got a suggestion from Jay, which is to change the last argument of Taps from "window.WIN_KAISER" to "firdes.WIN_KAISER".

This works for the fm_rx! It can run with the dummy.dat you sent earlier.

However, for fm_tx, it is supposed to generate dummy.dat, it generates an empty file instead...

Best regards,

Clark

I'm not used to Python bindings and don't really konws how to debug this. It look like your install is nor importing the right "window" class.

Can you please run this python code and the linux command:

locate fft_python (available if you installed locate package with sudo apt-get install locate, answer below

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gnuradio/fft/fft_python.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

python3 fm_rx3.py (only import window class and list its attributes

you should get for the python code, something like this

Hi Christophe,

After I run "python3 fm_rx.py", I got this message:

Seems like it couldn't find the correct window type...?

Could you please copy these files for som folder:

dummy.dat is generated by fm_tx.grc

fm_rx.py is generated from frm;_rx.grc flowgraph

and try to run the .py file:

python3 fm_rx.py

may be you could get a more explicit error for line with firdes.low_pass_2(self.volume...)

Hi Christophe and Marcus,

Thank you for the reply. I tried the fm_tx_2.grc and it has the same error message as below.

=======

Block: pfb_arb_resampler_xxx_0

Aspect: Param 'Taps'

Message: _expression_ None is invalid for type'real_vector'.

=======

Also the files between master and maint-3.9 are identical.

"git diff maint-3.9 master gr-analog/examples/fm_?x.grc"

I don't think I had a previous version of GNU Radio before. I installed GNU Radio from the binary package. I tried to delete the cache file and the cache folder then restart GRC but it is the same.

Any other suggestions?

Best regards,

Clark

Hi Clark

I'm running under Ubuntu 20.04 and GNURadio 3.9 fresh install (my Computer and HDD were out for several days an I had to reinstall Linux)

I downloaded maint-3.8 fm_tx.grc and fm_rx.grc. They worked at the first run without any problem. (I only had to remove ~/.cache/grc_gnuradio/cache.json cahce file because I previously used another version of GR on this computer)

I attached my fm_tx_2.grc file (the downloaded one, renamed and runned/saved under GR3.9)

try to run this .grc file.

if it run, can you send your file to see where the issue come from?

if it doesn't run .. ??

Hi Marcus,

I am using 3.9 for the GNU Radio. I ran the example from the latest master branch of github. I see from the CHANGELOG.md it should be the same 3.9 right?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Hi Clark,

which version of GNU Radio are you using, and is the folder from which you're taking these
examples from the same version?

Thank you for your answer!
