Mono-Pulse for GRC 3.6.0

Hi,

I’m quite new to Linux / GNU Radio / these lists and am looking to
generate
Signal Pulses.
It seems that gnuradio-radar-mono.py would be ideal for this but wasn’t
installed with my GRC 3.6
nor has it been updated for a long time. According to the documentation
it
requires a custom FPGA build to get working?

If I try to install it i suddenly can’t run GNU Radio 3.6.0 but I get an
error:
grc Traceback (most recent call last): File “./grc”, line 45, in
<module>
“”"%gr.version() AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute
‘version’

From what I’ve read I need do an sudo make install but I found the
gnuradio-mono-py as an update that I installed via Synaptic.

I’m not quite sure where I should be directing my efforts
e.g.
Is the update of gnuradio-radar-mono.py in a easy installable cmake form
somewhere?
Is it compatible at all wit 3.6.0?
Has this functionality been surpassed by other functions in GNU Radio or
discarded?
Is it true that i’ll need to a custom FPGA build?

I’m a bit confused,

Thanks in advance,

-Michael

Sorry to inform you but the functionality in gr-radar-mono was obsoleted
some time ago and removed from the GNU Radio distribution. It required
a
custom USRP1 FPGA image which is no longer distributed, and its
functionality depened on the old libusrp library that is also no longer
part of GNU Radio.

That being said, I’d encourage you define the functionality you want for
your application and implement these on your own via GRC or Python if
possible. The process of understanding what features you want and
mapping
those to the blocks available in GNU Radio is a great learning
experience.

Hi Jonathon,

I was starting to suspect that was the case, thanks for clearing that up
for me :slight_smile:

Cheers
