[Douglas BBN 802.11b] Porting code on USRP2 problems

Dear all,

I’m trying to port the Douglas BBN 802.11b code on the USRP2 working
with the last version of GNU-Radio (3.2SVN)

The last version of Douglas bbn 802.11b already work with hier_blok2 but
not with USRP2, so,

in order to do this porting I followed the recommendations below :

http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/[email protected]/9944619.html

I just have modified the files “bbn_80211b_tx.py” and
“bbn_80211b_transmit_path.py” because

it should be by means of these ones that we can access to USRP2.

I obtain the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “bbn_80211b_tx.py”, line 108, in
main()
File “bbn_80211b_tx.py”, line 72, in main
tb = my_block(options.interp, options.spb, options.barker)
File “bbn_80211b_tx.py”, line 22, in init
self.txpath = bbn_80211b_transmit_path(interp_rate, spb, use_barker)
File
“/home/usrptest1/bbn_80211_doug/src/examples/bbn_80211b_transmit_path.py”,
line 44, in init
self.packet_transmitter = bbn_80211b_mod_pkts(tb, spb=spb,
NameError: global name ‘tb’ is not defined

I am not able to solve this error and debug the new code :frowning:

Any suggestion about this porting will be welcome

Best regards Andrea

Here below there are my two modified codes:
