[Discuss-gnuradio] using daughterboard IO pins

2005-02-20 Thread Chuck Swiger
Gang - Is there a trick to using the IO pins? I tried this: sink = usrp.sink_c(0,64) sink.read_io(0) and it hangs up. Trying: sink.write_io(0,0x) gets a segfault and python bails out. Same thing with sink._write_oe(0,0x,0x) - segfault. I need someway to read a morse code key 8^) From w

[Discuss-gnuradio] filter_fcc - how to make complex taps?

2005-02-11 Thread Chuck Swiger
Guru's: There are filters that take float and produce complex, but they take complex taps. How do you make complex taps? Manually, or some gr.firdes.X_pass trick? I'm hoping to have SSB generation working shortly - then we can just put a string of amps (and filters and dummy loads first!) on the
