Various improvements to the sample GRC flowgraph #2

Closed argilo closed 10 years ago

argilo commented 10 years ago

Here are a few more improvements I've made to the sample flowgraph. The biggest improvement was in switching the demodulator to GNU Radio's MPSK Receiver block, after which I was able to receive RDS well for stations where the old demodulator was constantly losing lock and missing packets.

This is really great, also because we can get rid of two very ugly blocks. I've made some follow-up patches and deleted, now obsolete, bspk demod and frequency divider blocks. I also tried to fix the panel. Would be cool if you could give it a try.

So far so good. The only problem I noticed is that once you tune a station, you often get text written on top of text in the panel. And text seems to go off the right edge of the display or off the bottom sometimes too. I'll let you know if I figure any of it out. For one, I noticed that the strings of "x"es sometime differ in length between init and clear_data.

I thought this is a flaw of my tiling window manager since it was fixed after I resized the window. Now it should reapply the Layout after each change. I also set some minimum size hints to avoid flickering.
