Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] CC1101 GFSK packet decode with variable length

i just typed "RTFM" in google images :)

concerning the documentation :


IMHO

i can't blame anyone to have written the documentation in C++ or Python. in my early days of a C code dev i used to write the doc in raw C code if no doc at all

do you know why ARDUINO or RASPBERRY PI have become essential tools for discovering electronics ?
it is because it was not intended for electronics engineer
it was intended to be used by artists, musicians, hobbyists, kids, scholars, etc...
as a consequence, you don't have to write (at first) any line of code to make you LED blink
there is PLENTY of examples of code and SCHEMATICS all over the internet

i'm a hamradio op and an EE engineer, i love to talk about antennas, modulations, bit error correcting/detection, linear algebra, filters, signal and so on, but i don't like C++
that is why MY ideal documentation would have been AN EXAMPLE FOR EACH BLOCK with graphics
and simple diagrams explaining tags, messages for each block

i don't think that the diagram below is self explanatory  for packet decoding

Hi Alban et al:

Great RTFM graphic!

gnuradio’s documentation could indeed be much better: this is a discussion topic at conferences and meetings.  I had the same issues a couple of years ago when I was brand new.  

Unfortunately, for undocumented blocks, or those ones where the docs are not complete, the best way to figure out what the block or component does is to read the source code.  This is not ideal if you don’t have (for example) C++ experience, but if you have any coding experience at all then with a bit of effort (and support from the excellent helpers on this list) you can likely figure it out.  

The online docs do give enough information on gnuradio’s methodology that you can then figure out what a block does, what its parameters mean etc.  If it isn’t, then you can simply ask “what does parameter k do in block so-and-so” on the list, and (likely) the author will get back to you to explain it.

This is not a perfect answer to your question but it’s a start.  gnuradio is complex, and especially complex behind the curtain, so expect that it will take some digging (and consequent learning, which is good!) to get to where you want to be,

Happy 2019,

Kevin

Happy new year everyone  !

i would be glad if someone explain me how to use the HPD block, how do i setup messages with PMT blabla, and what is to packet_len tag and how to pass the packet length etc.
the packet_rx exmple work with OFDM and has nothing to do with simple FSK frame decoding
i will try do decode the documentation 😀

Hi Ed,

My solution makes a PDU of the maximum size whenever a syncword is
detected, even if different detections overlap.
