Maybe you can find something useful here:
https://www.wime-project.net/installation/

In addition to that, I would recommend to
- make sure that there are no Overruns (i.e., that the receiver can catch up 
with the same stream)
- check the constellation plot (it should give you a good idea if decoding 
works)
- try different LO offsets to tune the oscillator out of the band of interest
- make sure that frame detection works (i.e., that decoding is only triggered 
if a frame is sent)

Also note that the frame too short message is from the parser. I didn’t 
implement a complete parser that knows about all sorts of WiFi frames. However, 
decoding is completely independent from that. If there is a valid WiFi frame it 
will show up in the PCAP file, even if it’s not parsed and printed to the 
console.


Best,
Bastian

[Discuss-gnuradio] gr-doa with B210

2017-02-02 Thread sumitstop
Hello,

If anyone has used gr-doa, what is the angular resolution ? 

Is it possible to tweak the code of gr-doa and see the functionality using
B210 ? 

Regards

Sumit

[Discuss-gnuradio] Gr-Inspector Install error

2017-02-02 Thread Tellrell White
Hello all

I just recently installed Gr-Inspector and when I try to run a flow graph I
get the error below.

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/grc/gui/ActionHandler.py:78:
Warning: Source ID 403 was not found when attempting to remove it
  gtk.main()
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/grc/gui/BlockTreeWindow.py:221:
Warning: Source ID 411 was not found when attempting to remove it
  self.treeview.set_model(self.treestore_search)
*** Error in `/usr/bin/python2': double free or corruption (!prev):
0x02320520 ***

Not quite sure but I think when installed tensorflow that it may have
changed my python install and possibly caused this error. Hopefully someone
can provide some feedback.

Thanks

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gr-doa with B210

2017-02-02 Thread Neel Pandeya
Hello Sumit:

The gr-doa OOT was written to use an X300/X310 with two TwinRX
daughterboards, providing four receive channels. It will not work
out-of-the-box on any other USRP, although it could possibly be modified
for use with different daughterboards (such as SBX or UBX), or with a
B-series radio. However, the B200/B210 are not well-suited for this OOT, as
they cannot provide four phase-coherent channels.

We do not have any specifications on the angular resolution capabilities,
but empirically it can track to within a degree or two, under favorable
signal conditions.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Problem with the ieee 802.11 a/g/p receiver (wifi_rx)

2017-02-02 Thread Qurat-Ul-Ann Akbar
Hi Bastian,

I was testing the wifi_tx as well and I followed your tutorial where you
asked to turn the wifi card into a monitor and then run the transmitter
through the SDR. I also connected the Wireshark connector block to the WiFi
PHY Hier block to see the packets being sent by the wifi_tx. After
transmission when I open the pcap file it just shows me 2 entries and they
say "Protocol WLAN, Info: Malformed Packet". I also dont see any UDP
packets sent by the USRP in the pcap file generated by the monitor.

I didn't change the wifi_tx at all. Can you please tell me what could be
going on? Isnt the script supposed to work. And what output should I be
expecting?

Best,
Annie

[Discuss-gnuradio] Module has no 'attribute'---OOT Module

I just recently installed the gr-inspector oot module. When I tried to run
a flow-graph using one of the blocks from the module I got the following
error.

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'signal_detector_cvf'


I also got the warnings below we I started grc.

tree.

Not sure what possibly went wrong. Any ideas??
