The Funcube Dongle is a software defined radio +receiver in a USB stick covering 64 MHz - 1.7 GHz. More info about the +Funcube Dongle is avaialble at http://www.funcubedongle.com/ + +The Funcube Dongle provides I/Q data via USB audio and its control +interface (frequency, gains, filters) uses the USB HID api. This block +wraps both the audio input and the control interface into one convenient +GNU Radio source block with a complex data stream output that can be used +in GNU Radio application written in C++, Python and the GNU Radio Companion. + +This package requires that gnuradio-core and gnuradio-audio 3.5 is already +installed. It also depends on some GNU Radio prerequisites, such as Boost. +On Linux you will also need libusb-1.0 for the HID control interface. + +To build the gnuradio-fcd library and the included examples use the normal +recipe: + + $ ./configure + $ make + $ sudo make install + +If you're building from git, you'll need to use this sequence, since +git doesn't contain configure or the generated Makefiles. + + $ ./bootstrap + $ ./configure + $ make + $ sudo make install + +The configure script has many options for fine tuning the build and the +installation. Use the --help option to get a list. + +This package includes the hidapi: http://www.signal11.us/oss/hidapi/ +and the FCD API code from Qthid: http://qthid.sf.net/ + +This package was created by Alexandru Csete OZ9AEC, and it is based on the +gr-howto-write-a-block example package by Eric Blossom and contributors. |
