Dear all,  
I am trying to install this toolbox  
[https://www.cgran.org/wiki/chancoding](https://www.cgran.org/wiki/chancoding). However, I am working on a  
windows environment GNU Radio, do anyone tried before or knows how can I  
get it installed on a GNU Radio?  
Thank you.  
Regards,Sun

That cgran page says “GNU Radio \>= 3.2.2”, which indicates it might be  
terribly outdated and would not work with 3.6.5 (it can’t work with  
3.7); I don’t know if Nico has touched the code base since 2011, but I  
assume you’ll have to go great lengths to get it to work with current  
GNU Radio versions.

Try the new gr-fec interface, now included in GNU Radio 3.7; it might  
suit your needs!

Best Regards,  
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

I’m using Encode CCSDS 27 and Decode CCSDS 27, but I don’t know how to  
handle with the requirement of “float” input in the Decode CCSDS 27. I  
tried to make a conversion block to convert bit to float (0 becomes -1  
and  
1 still becomes 1), but that did not work correctly.  
In the flow graph that I attached, the Btf\_Conversion block is to  
converts  
bits to floats and the Console Sink sink is just to print out what it  
receives.

Best Regards,

Hi V-L,

You may use Map block with parameters of -1,1 for your conversion (0  
becomes -1 and 1 still becomes 1).
