NOOB needs help with simple.py

GNU Radio
1

Hi all,

I wanna work into this project, as I think its excellent!
My box is a gentoo box running

net-wireless/gnuradio-3.7.3:0/3.7.3 USE=“alsa analog digital examples
fcd filter grc pager qt4 sdl uhd utils wavelet wxwidgets -doc -jack -oss
-performance-counters -portaudio” PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET=“python2_7”
PYTHON_TARGETS=“python2_7”

For the first experiments I found this page giving a scope and fft
display of the soundcard input,

http://www.funwithelectronics.com/?id=10

the py file looks like this

#!/usr/bin/env python

from gnuradio import gr
from gnuradio.wxgui import stdgui2,fftsink2,scopesink2
import wx

class gnuradioGUI(stdgui2.std_top_block):
def init(self,frame,panel,vbox,argv):
stdgui2.std_top_block.init(self,frame,panel,vbox,argv)

fft = fftsink2.fft_sink_f(panel, title="FFT display", fft_size=512,

sample_rate=100000)
vbox.Add(fft.win,4,wx.EXPAND)

scope = scopesink2.scope_sink_f(panel, title="Oscilloscope",

sample_rate=100000)
vbox.Add(scope.win,4,wx.EXPAND)

signal = gr.sig_source_f(100000,gr.GR_SIN_WAVE,20000,1000,0)
throttle = gr.throttle(gr.sizeof_float,100000)
self.connect(signal,throttle)
self.connect(throttle,fft)
self.connect(throttle,scope)

if name == ‘main’:
app = stdgui2.stdapp(gnuradioGUI,“A simple GNU Radio GUI”)
app.MainLoop()

when I try to start this

#python2.7 simple.py

Using Volk machine: avx_32_mmx_orc
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘sig_source_f’

but then nothing is displayed

can someone experienced please give me a hint??

Hi Sebastian,
I admit I did not go through your whole post, since that would require
reading someone else’s python. Most likely, that website is for an older
version of GNU Radio, and that’s why you can’t import some stuff;
gr.block_name looks like pre-3.7 GNU Radio.

I always encourage people to start off with the beginners’ tutorials[1]
over at gnuradio.org, since we, as a community, try to make sure that
they don’t become obsolete, and only look at tutorials elsewhere once
they are used to GNU Radio enough to understand what’s going on with a
little research themselves.

So: do not be discouraged to continue learning, it’s really fun and
rewarding!
Happy Hacking,
Marcus

As soon as you reach the WritePythonApplications tutorial, they even
have the signal-to-soundcard example, so no need to look elsewhere :wink:

Hi Marcus,

thanks for your honest words.

I figured out howto do it using the grc. Its an interesting tool, and
results can be achieved quickly, even if the problem requires a rather
complex flow.

I am sure I’ll nag about other problems sooner or later :-))
