Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Issue with gr-funcubedongleproplus

[Mike Harpe]

Good day all.

I wanted to let you know that I got the gr-fcdproplus driver working. After doing some digging around and getting nowhere I flushed my Debian system, did a clean install, updated it to the current stable release, "carefully" downloaded all the Gnuradio requirements, downloaded and compiled GR, then compiled the driver.

Some part of all that worked. Now I'm diving into learning a little about DSP.

Thank you for your time.

Hello! I've gotten GNU Radio 3.7.2.1 compiled and running. I have a FunCube Dongle Pro Plus V2 that I received in the last week.

My environment is Debian wheezy running a generic kernel.

I am getting the following when I try to run the narrowband FM example. It has to do with the control part of the dongle. I tried the udev change with no success. I am new to working with devices in udev so I'm sure that's the problem.

Here's what I get...

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!
