RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Changing the frequency of signal source at runtime

[Pratik Bhogale]

My project specifically requires SDRPlay and GNURadio to be used.

Also, could you help me with the process to try and change the frequency at runtime?
Or point me to a documentation or example that could help. Although I did read as much as I could find on the internet.

With a recent GNU Radio 3.9, SoapySDR is supported, and there is a soapy sdrplay driver. This requires the sdrplay v3 API and service to be installed.

I am using GNURadio 3.7 on my Raspberry Pi. I also wish to use 3.9 on my Jetson Nano, but WX GUIs have been discontinued from 3.8 and later.
I am attaching my python file, although I haven’t added anything to it since whatever I tried, didn’t work.

tb = top_block_cls()

tb.Start(True)

tb.Wait()

This is the main(), and I tried adding lock and timers but didn’t work, so I have attached the unedited python file.
I want to change the frequency after every 5 seconds (might change later), for which I need help.
Could you help me with the right commands/functions to invoke?

Best,

Pratik

Hello

 

Maybe you could share your .grc or python file.

 

I’ve had pretty good luck with gnuradio 3.7.13 and SDRPlay RSP1A,

where changing the frequency works fine.  

 

I’ve not gotten SDRPlay RSP1A to work with gnuradio 3.8, as they’re

not interested in following gnuradio changes any longer.

 

What gnuradio version are you using?

 

Regards

 

Glen
