Fcdproplus (Funcube Pro Plus) Module?

Greetings,

 My platform is the Mint 13 distribution of Linux which is based on

Ubuntu 12.04.

 I have been struggling with gnuradio trying to get it to work with

my FuncubeProPlus dongle for which I have installed the latest
fcdproplus package a couple of times. The example application shows the
fcdproplus blocks OK indicating that the fcdproplus package for it is
compiled and installed. There are fcdproplus files in the
usr/share/gnuradio subdirectories thus the install appears normal. I can
execute the dialtone and sweep examples which run OK indicating gnuradio
is functional.

 I have done the following:

     - Entered the recommended Udev rules. The funcube USB device is

detected as it is listed as a Microchip device by the lsusb command. The
dongle is shown with the expected “fb31” id that is assigned to the
fcdproplus. But lsusb shows is on bus 4 which differs from the udev
rules statement that indicate that it should be on bus 1, I don’t know
if this is relevant to the problem.

     - I have added the /usr/share/gnuradio path to the PATH

statement for both SU and user accounts.

 I get the following dump when I try to execute the example:

Generating: “/home/tma/GNU_Radio/GRC_WorkSpace/FMRadio.py”

Executing: “/home/tma/GNU_Radio/GRC_WorkSpace/FMRadio.py”

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/tma/GNU_Radio/GRC_WorkSpace/FMRadio.py”, line 19, in

import fcdproplus
ImportError: No module named fcdproplus

Done


 I don't know what is meant by module......is it looking for a

software module or is that it cannot find the USB dongle? As FMRadio.py
is re-generated with every execution attempt there is nothing that I can
change that will stick in that file.

 I wonder if anyone here can help me?

Best Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,

“module” is meant in the python library kind of sense. This means that
wherever you installed your funcubedongle python code to, it’s not being
found by python, and in effect can’t be used in a flowgraph at runtime.
how did you install it?

Greetings, and goodnight,
