Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Error while using uhd usrp blocks

[shashank gaur]

Hello 

First of all Thank you very much for your support
I was able to run the program on two different USRP and it was successful. 

But still I have some new problems. Actually I am doing my masters project on gnuradio and usrp.

I am trying to make a BPSK transmitter and receiver(Attached GRC Files), then use it further in my project. My mentor suggested to use MPSK Receiver for the receiver part but I am not sure about Loop Bandwidth and Theta as the solution my mentor gave is for the old version of gnuradio. Can you help me with understanding these parameters?

Right now when I start my receiver program on a usrp the number plot varies around 0.5 (which I guess is normal when there is no transmission) but when I start transmitter the value goes high to 0.6 or 0.7 (It should be lower than 0.3). 

I am using following parameters for the same

M = 2 for BPSK

Theta = 0 (I was not sure about this so I put it 0)

Loop Bandwidth= ????? (I dont knw what to put here)

Min Freq = -0.05

Max Freq = 0.05

Mu = 0.5

Gain Mu = 0.001

Omega = 8

Gain Omega = 0.000001

Omega Relative Limit = 0.0001

Also I tried to use Costas loop and Clock Recovery MM with same parameters but they are also not working. 
It would be great help if anyone can help me understand these parameters.

Hello all

Thank you very much for such prompt response.

 

@Marcus: I understand the problem now and will try to implement the Rx and Tx on different USRP on Monday. The weeekend has already started here in France.

@Andrew: I will also get back with exact result of the commands but what I remember for uhd_find_devices the result was the device address that is 4d9de875 and in uhd_usrp_probe it detected all the available RX and Tx (it has Flex900).

Apologies for the delay but cannot access the usrp before Monday. The mentor doesnt allow me to have usrp at home. Hope you understand

Thanks again for your time

Type " uhd_find_devices " into console, then " uhd_usrp_probe " then give us the results, and the code for the program you're trying to run.

Hello

I am simply trying to build a transmitter and receiver for bpsk modulation and demodulation using mpsk receiver at receiving end. I am using USRP1 (Flex900 Daughter boards) with Gnuradio Companion 3.5.0rc0 on Ubuntu 10.10.

When I run either (trransmitter or receiver) of any grc applications first the grc executes it successfully and when I run other the grc gives following error.
linux; GNU C++ version 4.4.5; Boost_104200; UHD_003.003.001-8ff8f20

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sunny/Examples/top_block.py", line 105, in <module>
    tb = top_block()
  File "/home/sunny/Examples/top_block.py", line 40, in __init__
    num_channels=1,
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gnuradio/uhd/__init__.py", line 93, in constructor_interceptor
    return old_constructor(*args, **kwargs)

    return _uhd_swig.usrp_sink(*args, **kwargs)
RuntimeError: LookupError: KeyError: No devices found for ----->
Device Address:
    serial: 4d9de875


I think it has something to do with USRP UHD Source/Sink block parameters.
Either the grc is not able to recognize the daughter board or there is problem with hardware. may be I am wrong.
Please help me to recognize the error.
Thank you very much for your time

Just so we're clear here.  If you're trying to run your RX and TX as two separate processes, against the
  same USRP1, that won't work.    You'll need to have two independant USRP1s, or collapse your RX and
  TX into a single combined program--only one process can have a "handle" against each USRP1 at a time.
