Pre-cog repo is down?

Hello guys,

Is https://github.com/buoyboy/pre-cog down
or I am the only one not being able to have access?

Hi,
Even I am not able to open it. even the wiki of pre-cog isn’t
opening.

https://github.com/jmalsbury/pre-cog

But the wiki is down… 404.

Alex,
Dreams can come true just believe.

Hi John,

I suspected that this was where it has transferred. Though, by
installing
pre-cog along with the extras and using
the packet_framing of precog instead of extras I get the following error
as
I posted before,

gr_fir_fff: using SSE
Uhandler caught exception: in method
‘gr_block_gw_message_type_work_args_return_value_set’,
argument 2 of type ‘int’
Traceback (most recent call last):

What is more, after replacing packet_framer with the framer of extras
repo,
by trying to simulate
only the PHY level of precog

transmitter
(Vector_source → stream_to_blob → GMSK_mod → packet_framer →
multiplier → Burst-Tag → USRP_sink)

and on the other side
receiver:
(USRP_source → packet_deframer → GMSK_demod → blob_to_s)

I cannot see any data coming even with the USRP’s front ends connected
with a coaxial cable.
I am using USRP2s and RFX2400 daughtercards.

Thanks,

I am sorry, it was a typo.
The grc file generating the reported error is attached.

-George

The file worked for me, but I’m testing with a machine with an older
version of GNU Radio (3.6.2). I will upgrade and retest. In the
meantime,
can you remove the burst gate and tell me if the flowgraph runs without
error?

… GMSK_mod -> packet_framer -> multiplier -> Burst-Tag …

the packet_framer should come before the modulator. Not after. Is this
actually how it is connected or is there just a typo?

Send me the GRC file.

George,

I don’t have any hardware where I am, so I have the UHD source disabled.
The speed (or lack there of) of the python block may be what is causing
this issue. It’s also possible that the async. nature of the msg-based
blocks means there’s no back pressure on your vector_source block and it
is
generating samples as quickly as the cpu allows. (anyone, chime in if
you
know better?) When I insert a throttle before the stream to blob
conversion, things seem to work OK.

See attached.

I’ve also attached another example for you to work with that has working
mod and demod setup with a ‘heartbeat’ block that generates a periodic
message.

John,

Thanks for the attachments.

I think that “the async. nature of the msg-based blocks means there’s no
back pressure on your vector_source block” was the problem.

Thanks again,
-George

I am in v3.6.2.-3 and the problem still appears after removing the burst
gate.
Moreover, is there a way to test the data after the conversion of the
stream to blobs, either through Octave or Matlab (by connecting a file
sink
at the flowgraph)?
