Gnuradio Screencast for Absolute Beginners

GNU Radio
#1

Hi Community,

I have uploaded screencast of some very basic things for the beginners
in
gnuradio like installing gnuradio, finding common examples of usrp, uhd,
utilities etc. Also getting information about usrp’s / daughterboards,
antennas, burning SD card etc.

Here is the link


Although these things are given in enough detail on gnuradio webpage but
I
think watching on screen will be very helpful for the starters :slight_smile:

Enjoy :slight_smile:

** Suggestions/improvements are most welcome

Hi Community,

Just uploaded 11 more screen casts in GNURADIO for absolute beginners.
They are mostly related to using benchmark files of digital transmission
and
ofdm transmission.
Some playing with the spectrum sensing code is also there. I have
increased
the font size as well as bright back ground for better visibility.

A lot more will be coming.

Cheers :working:

Hi Community , some more video are up

benchmark files.

  1. Complete instructions on how to install UHD(latest ver), gnuradio
    (latest
    ver) and gnuradio-companion from source code(for those ppl who enjoy
    building by themselves) :-))

** instructions on setting python path as well as library path also
shown.

I also wanted to make some videos on getting started with hardware on
gnuradio but unfortunately my shipment from ettus research worth $9K got
stuck. its showing "Clearance delay - Import "  :,( Anyways I will use 
my
existing usrp2/1 to make the videos in the coming days

More videos will be up very soon :working:

Hi Community,
I have just uploaded a lengthy video as a supplement to my earlier
screencast on gnuradio-companion. I recorded it last evening but somehow
was
unable to find that where it was saved in my system. Now I am using a
good
screen recorder which is giving me option to pause in between the
recordings
:slight_smile: Hence I was able to record for more than 50 mins :stuck_out_tongue:

Here is the link

More screencasts will be up very soon.

Hi Community,

I have just uploaded some more videos on my channel. They are about
basic
filtering and some beginners concept about sampling and re-sampling.

Here are the links :

GNURADIO: GNURADIO-COMPANION part-5 (Basic filtering)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc3K3bUxPW8&feature=plcp

GNURADIO: GNURADIO-COMPANION part-6-1 (Significance of sampling rate in
simulations)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka540X5NjwE&feature=plcp

GNURADIO: GNURADIO-COMPANION part-6-2 (Significance of sampling rate in
simulations contd.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dvw-B_CGEg&feature=plcp

I am sorry for the disturbing audio quality. My sound card is picking
some
noise even after I am opting for mute. Please mute the audio while
watching
the screencasts :slight_smile:

More screencasts will be up very soon.

Hi Community , some more video are up !!

I have shown how to start working with gnuradio-companion. There are 4
screen casts. Very introductory for the new comers :slight_smile:

connecting the blocks, data types, putting multiple windows in tabs, etc
I
have shown. Suggestions and feedbacks are very welcome.

Please suggest me some good(free) screencast tools. Right now I am using
gtk-recordmydesktop which gives me .ogv file and youtube creates much
pain
with .ogv format.

Also this screen cast is very unorganized. from next screen casts I will
try
to organize them point wise :slight_smile:

Sumit -

Thanks for making such a detailed library of videos!

Have you considered putting together an index / table of contents /
different playlists of the videos to organize them? I think it may be
easier for users to find and watch the videos they need. You have quite
a
few now, and Youtube doesn’t make it easy to navigate through them by
default unless you create playlists from them.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Comunity,

I have just uploaded some more screen casts. There are 6 of them.
One is about basic hacking with the dial_tone.py script so that the
beginners get a flavour of doing customization without knowing much of
the
language paradigms.
here is the link (its under GNURADIO Experiments for Fun playlist)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFMRSXR-w58&feature=plcp

Rest are about USRP related things like (they are listed under GNURADIO
&
USRP, DAUGHTERBOARDS, ANTENNAS playlist)

  1. changing the USRP name and finding it with several identifiers
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWFCXr-o2YY&feature=plcp

  2. how to load customized firmware and fpga files in USRP
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvNe1QLBZfs&feature=plcp

  3. And a very important tutorial about sub devices…
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BERxSmWlRZM&feature=plcp

and finally
4. how to find the available subdevices and how to use them
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g5RQIJQ868&feature=plcp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V6ewR1a6_w&feature=plcp
