Hi friends,
I wrote a gnuradio block that has 2 input streams.
1. The first stream is the stream of PN sequence data coming out of an
gr.xor_bb block. (It is a gold sequence generated by XOR two M-seq generated
using gr.glfsr_source_b).
2. The second stream is the data read from a file. I use a test data "0xAA "
stored in a file and read it using
gr.file_source(gr.sizeof_char,"datafile",True).
The output is written to a file. The output written to the file always has
some data missing. I tested the spreading block by printing its output to
"stdout" and found that the output is alright, but when I write it to the
file I always see some data missing. Any ideas why this might be happening ?
Below is the code for the block that spreads the data. I spread each bit of
every byte read to the lenth of PN sequence. e.g. If PN sequence is 7 bit
long, the output of the block will be 7*8 bits for each byte read from the
file. The PN sequence bit is the LSB of every byte that output out of the
XOR block.
I suspect something is wrong with the way I call the "consume" function.
Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ali.
The code.
