Thank you much for your answer. Indeed, its a shared pointer. I now figured out, the the only way to get the data is via .to_string(). Though, im stuck again. I use the following code to initialize the queue and message sink:
self.sink_queue = gr.msg_queue() self.gr_file_source_0 = gr.file_source(gr.sizeof_char*1, "stream", False) self.gr_message_sink_0 = gr.message_sink(gr.sizeof_char*1, self.sink_queue, False) Then I'm putting a DPSK mod and demod between and connect the output of the demod to the message sink: self.connect((self.gr_file_source_0, 0), (self.gr_throttle_0, 0)) self.connect((self.gr_throttle_0, 0), (self.digital_dxpsk_mod_0, 0)) self.connect((self.digital_dxpsk_mod_0, 0), (self.digital_dxpsk_demod_0, 0)) self.connect((self.digital_dxpsk_demod_0, 0), (self.gr_message_sink_0, 0)) So my thought was, that all the messages then should contain one byte (with one bit information). At the end, my code looks like that: tb = top_block() tb.start() while 1: point=tb.sink_queue.delete_head() point=point.to_string() print len(point) The first curiosity is, that the length variates from 2 up to 2048. Can somebody explain why? The next question is, how to i convert the "bitvalue" of the string to an actual char? -- View this message in context: http://gnuradio.4.n7.nabble.com/Usage-of-Message-Queues-tp39295p39815.html Sent from the GnuRadio mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
