Creating a UHD Sink block

GNU Radio
1

I am having trouble with the GNU Radio block that I have created to use
as
an alternative to the regular UHD USRP Sink block provided by GNU Radio.
The file compiles, but there are errors when I run it in a python file.
The
Python file works fine if I use the GNU Radio UHD Sink, but not when I
use
mine. I have included the errors below. Thanks!

Brooke,

Make sure everything looks good in your SWIG files. If you’re using
the new style (3.7) of creating the blocks, you should have something
like this in in your lfm_swig.i file (I’m just using the component
name ‘lfm’ from your block’s name above; replace it with whatever you
actually use):

%{
#include “lfm/uhd_lfm_sink.h”
%}

%include “lfm/uhd_lfm_sink.h”

GR_SWIG_BLOCK_MAGIC2(lfm, uhd_lfm_sink);

Remember that the order of these statements is important.
