Handling Messages

Hi,

I am trying to make a flowgraph as given:

signal source --> stream2vector --> fft --> c2m --> msg_sink

If the size of fft is 4096, then I want to retrieve these 4096 points in
python and then do simple maths and logic based on some of the values
within
these 4096 points within python.

And then based on the result, I want to initiate another flowgraph!

Currently, there is an error between the interface between c2m and
msg_sink.

The code is:

class top(gr.top_block):
def init(self):
gr.top_block.init(self)

        # Variables
        ##################################################

Hi Ali - I think the issue is that the output of the C2M is of
item_size ‘fftsize’, whereas the message_sink has item_size of
‘gr.sizeof_float’. Try incorporating the ‘gr.vector_to_stream’ you
created between the C2M and the message_sink. - MLD
