Hello, Madengr!

First, you made an excellent investment! The USRP2 is a very powerful
peripheral to get introduced to the SDR world.
By the way, I want to write a little documentation about his
architecture (explaining what’s implemented in the FPGA, how it
communicates to the host and etc.) There is a lot of documentation in
ask-answer format, that is good enough, but I personally prefer to saw
graphs and diagrams.

Don’t worry about python programming… It’s very easy! I recommend
you the official documentation available at python.org. If you are not
familiar with oriented object programming, this pdf may help you:
http://www.clear.rice.edu/mech517/Books/oop3.pdf
As an IDE, I recommend you the PyDev plugin for Eclipse. You’ll take
some time to become familiar with hios enviroment but as more you use
it as quick you’ll enjoy its helpful tools(integration to CVS, for
example).

I’ll take a look at the OOP chapter. I was playing with Objective C for
a
while so have a little of OOP figured out, but just the basics. The
USRP2
is a nice piece of hardware. There is a danger, on the WBX, of the LNA
blowing out the second stage amp if greater than -10 dBm is applied (and
the
attenuator is opened up), but other than that looks good.

Yes, that link to Amazon was the book I was referring too.

I found the “Simple User Manual for Gnuradio 3.1.1” to be helpful and am
printing out “Dive into Python”.

Thanks,
