Evening all. I only recently (yesterday) started working with gnuradio
and am
having some trouble getting a minimal grc python block going. I’ve found
a
number of references in this mailing list and elsewhere (and lots of
broken
links) but just can’t seem to piece it all together. Some guidance would
be
greatly appreciated.
My current goal is just to create a block in grc, it doesn’t even have
to do
anything yet. Here’s what I’ve done so far. I’ve added these to .bashrc:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/user/mygnuradioblocks
export GRC_BLOCKS_PATH=$GRC_BLOCKS_PATH:/home/user/mygnuradioblocks
As suggested by (I’ve tried the other two methods for specifying the
.xml
path as well):
gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/GNURadioCompanion#Adding-Custom-Blocks
And added the following two files to this folder (based on
https://github.com/guruofquality/grextras/wiki/Blocks-Coding-Guide):
mytestblock.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
from gnuradio import gr
import block_gateway
class my_first_block(gr.block):
def init(self):
gr.block.init(self, name = “my first block”, in_sig=None,
out_sig=None)
def work(self, input_items, output_items):
return 0
mytestblock.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?> MY: FIRST BLOCK MY my_first_block import mytestblock as mtb mtb.my_first_block() <name>my param1</name>
<key>my_param_1</key>
<value>False</value>
<type>bool</type>
<option><name>val_false</name><key>False</key></option>
<option><name>val_true</name><key>True</key></option>
<doc>
MY TEST BLOCK: Bleh, hope this works!
I however can’t get grc to recognize this block, In addition I’ve tried
moving these two files to the system xml and py directories
respectively:
/usr/local/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/extras/
And even modifying files in those two folders to a minimal form. In
short,
I’m having a fairly hard time to get my first python grc block going, if
anyone could point me in the right direction for creating a minimal grc
python block it would be much appreciated.
