Re: Quisk Version 4.1.51 November 2019

 

Hello Dave,

I am shipping a FreeDV DLL but it is for 32-bit Windows. I will have to figure out how to make a 64-bit version and how to keep them separate.

Re: building quisk Linux Ubuntu 18 error

 

The soapypkg directory should be there. Does anyone else see that it is missing?

Edited

Have sorted out my 64 bit version problem. Calling a 64 bit DLL from Python with pointers to data is a bit tedious I must say!

As per 32 bit versions Jim, when run under windows 10 with 64 bit Python 3.8, the FDV button is greyed out and the executable quisk.exe returns an error code 0x01 and does not start up quisk.
Update: "ok = QS.freedv_open()" returns 0. Not yet set up to trace into the binary files (sorry)

Apart from that, all runs fine for me

Re: How do I alter the frequency range on the graph and waterfall displays.

 

Thank you, yes that does the trick. I know that since the Soapy update I have been trying to alter the display. I am sure that I have changed the sample rate, I guess I missed the display change. This morning I have educated myself on both the sample rate, and bandwidth parms and how they interact. I can now set the display to the spectrum view that works best for my needs. Before Soapy, I had only the softrock receiver which was simpler for me to understand I guess, (Center Frequency, and Sound card Sample rate)

Re: Requesy to add connect/disconnect or start/stop button to UI

 

Hello Bob,

If you are running Python3, you must make soapy for Python3 too. Use "make soapy3". You also need to install Soapy with the correct bits, either 32 or 64. If your Python2 is 32-bit, and your Python3 is 64-bit, you are probably using a 32-bit Soapy which will not work with 64-bit Python. The problem of getting shared libraries (DLLs) to work together is known as "DLL Hell".

Re: Requesy to add connect/disconnect or start/stop button to UI

 

Thanks Bob, maybe you could just post a pictures / print screen in the config menu,? of the tx and rx soapysdr hardware parameters? that work with your limemini. I will inspire myself from what works for you and try again this week-end with mu plutosdr.
Thanks
Regards
Peter

?Hi Peter

1. Using Linux, I have no Windows facility.

Using Python2.7:
2. Built Quisk 4.1.48 a little while ago, from quisk-1.4.48.tar.gz
3. Downloaded GNURadio.
4. Downloaded Soapy to give Soapy out-of-tree blocks in GNURAdio.
5. Downloaded Limesuite and Lime out-of-tree blocks to GNURAdio.

At this point I could program Lime in GNURadio via Lime oot or Soapy oot, and run Lime under Quisk.? Lime Receive always worked correctly, bandwidths of several MHz.? Lime Tx presented more problems but I could always get it to work starting from a "minimum configuration" - 48kHz display.? Usually I could then increase display range - this can be done from configuration screen without restarting.?

I am embarrassed? to say that my computer notes are inadequate, although I might have more in my written notebook back home.? My impression is that "flaky" problems really came from trying to deal with a data rate too high for this computer.? In addition, if I changed various settings I sometimes had to restart the computer - some residual info hanging around perhaps.

Python3:? tried to change over yesterday evening, and with Quisk -4.1.51 using pip and pip3 to download.? This is all working as advertised except that Soapy is not available - I have no idea why!

I have a lot of things to deal with just now and cannot devote quite enough time to this problem - but I will try!

Re: Requesy to add connect/disconnect or start/stop button to UI

 

Hi Bob,
Glad to hear this works for you with the lime mini because Ibhave had no success with the Pluto, QUISK makes it ?crash in TX mode. Are you using windows or Linux .? What do you mean when you say it is a bit flaky ?

This probably adds very little but I did have Soapy working fine on Quisk 4.1.48 Tx as well as Rx on Lime mini.? A bit flaky but had qso's on 2m and 70cm.? Lost module on 4.1.51;? I see this is common problem.? 73? Bob g3udi

Re: Quisk Version 4.1.51 November 2019

 

That's what I assumed - what threw me was the python error message "OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application" when this is 64 bit and it gave the same message when I tried 32 and 64 bit builds of the DLL

Will play some more....

Dave


Re: Quisk Version 4.1.51 November 2019

 

When running Python or anything else, the main program and all DLLs must be the same; 32 or 64 bit. That is why Quisk is available for both. You can use either Quisk to work with what you have.

The frequency range is given by the sample rate. Change that.

Re: Quisk Version 4.1.51 November 2019

 

Hi Jim

Update. Tried installing on my main dev machine - same versions but this is 64 bit windows 10. Installed 64 bit version of python 3.8. With this build I can't load a comms dll that the 'LHS SDR uses. Specifically a 32 bit windows MFC dll.?
Error traceback below.?Tried rebuilding dll with VS2019 as both win32 and x64 dll, get same response.?

Does it need to be 32 bit python for quisk?

Hi Jim

Have build 51 running under Python 3.8 on WIndows 10 (32 bit) with G7LHS SDR.
Runs fine with a couple of exceptions
1. whilst executing quisk.py directly works, quisk.exe does nothing
2. FDV button is greyed out
Will try to investigate some more tomorrow.

How do I alter the frequency range on the graph and waterfall displays.

 

I am sure there is a simple way to do this, but so far I have not found it. In using the SDRPlay and RTL-SDR hardware through the Soapy interface how do I change the waterfall and graph to display more than 220Khz. I have tried the various options in the "Radio" configure screen with no luck
