6 years ago I found an error in binary release and fixed it. Pleas download the archive again and try again. It should work now.

6 years ago Unfortunately only way to debug this problem for you would be getting processing ide from https://processing.org/ and library from https://github.com/pavels/processing-rtlspektum-lib/releases/download/1.0.5/rtlspektrum.zip and try to run it this way
You will get some console output in processing - that will give us some clues.

Attached is what I get when launching the application.
To confirm I have installed the the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012.
I can't see any logs from your application or anything written to the event logs that might shed some light.
Thanks for your help.

6 years ago I have same grey background with 1.0.3 updated version too. 1.0.2 working well (win7 64-bit). When i replace rtlpower and rtlsdr.dll to older 1.0.2 versions, 1.0.3 starts working.

6 years ago Following on from what @artmaen discovered I have also discovered I can get past the grey screen by just taking rtlsdr.dll from version 1.0.2.
After this I can get to the device selection screen which shows two devices but unfortunately it does not matter which I select, the application complains it can not connect to the device which is the same issue I get with version 1.0.2 only I don't see the device selection screen (which is new to 1.0.3) in that case.

6 years ago Gentlemen,
I tried Version 1.0.3: With artmaen's hint it starts to do something, but it has nothing to do with the signals applied to the antenna port! The same happens with Version 1.0.2!
I'll try to include a screenshot of Version 1.0.2's output:
Does anybody else have this behaviour? I tried a second RTLSDR-Stick but with same result. Both are RTL2832U T820T2 TCXU+BIAS T+HF V.3
As gain, I only can choose "0".
Win7 64bit...
Thanks in advance
Edit: Ok, my fault - I didn't know I have to run zadig.exe in order to replace the automatically installed driver (see http://rtlsdr.org/softwarewindows for details).
Best regards

6 years ago I have the same problem with spektrum. When I run the application version 1.0.3 only the gray background appears and nothing else. I run the application on Windows 10 x64 with RTL2832U + R820T2 USB dongle. At the same time, the old version of the application (version 1.0.2) is started and works normally.

6 years ago sorry but i haven't used processing until now. looks like arduino to me but for Java :) there is some mention of loading certain module from the rtlsdr library. and there is something about 32-bit... at rtlspektrum.RtlsdrLibrary.rtlsdr_get_device_count(Native Method) at rtlspektrum.Rtlspektrum.getDevices(Rtlspektrum.java:64) at spektrum.setup(spektrum.java:418) at processing.core.PApplet.handleDraw(PApplet.java:2401) at processing.awt.PSurfaceAWT$12.callDraw(PSurfaceAWT.java:1557) at processing.core.PSurfaceNone$AnimationThread.run(PSurfaceNone.java:316)
relevant lines are: Rtlspektrum.java:64 int deviceCount = RtlsdrLibrary.rtlsdr_get_device_count(); spektrum.java:418 devices = Rtlspektrum.getDevices();
error occurs when a call is made to get device count and getdevices from the rtlsdr.dll library which it says is
so what could be wrong?
If you can guide me step by step, maybe this problem could be resolved. i can't solve it myself because a) i don't know java b) spektrum is a complicated program i don't understand c) don't understand how rtlsdr.dll works d) my skills are pretty limited
however, i need a "poor man's" spectrum analyser...so

6 years ago Hi
thanks for the feedback - there is clearly something messed up with the rtlsdr binaries bundled with 1.0.3 i will try to sort it out today or during the weekend
@iotlearner0level try to copy dlls from here https://github.com/pavels/processing-rtlspektum-lib/releases/download/1.0.3/rtlspektrum.zip and replace the ones in the library and try again please

4 years ago I too am getting the same gray screen. I read above where rtlpower.dll and rtlsdr.dll were swapped out for the 2015 version and it worked. It seems the 2018 version is of the two .dll files do not like my machines (I tried on three different computers). With the older version of the .dll I do not know what I am missing since I cannot run the 2018 version. Is there anyway to test why the 2015 works but the 2018 does not work? Thanks in advance, and I really like this program. Wish it had equivalent RBW and VBW.

4 years ago Wadoadi, I went with Spektrum 0.19a instead of 1.0.3. I found it to have a better UI and it works. I don't recall if I had to do some magic to get it to work. I don't think so. However, there is a bug on Windows 10 that multiple SDR dongles might appear. When that happens all bets are off that it will work. I use it on my Windows 7 and 8 machines and have no problems. Why on Windows 10 it does not work for me I don't know.
Anyway, try Spektrum 0.19a.

4 years ago Thanks Brian, I have tried this and also 0.11 and I just get the grey screen on Windows 10, also tried compatibility mode, I no longer have a W7 PC, I can't remember the version I used to run on that PC but it did work on it.

4 years ago Hi
I have release new version just now - 1.0.4 - get if from releases https://github.com/pavels/spektrum/releases/tag/1.0.4
This should finally sort out this problem on linux and windows.
Pleas test and let me know here in this issue if it fixed the problem or not.

4 years ago I loaded the new version. It works. I have removed version 0.19a. Both versions work on my Win8 machine. I like the multipage layout and controls of version 0.19a, but I also like the simple layout of version 1.04. I just wish the layout and controls were more like an HP/Agilent/Schwarz interface. However, thanks for the fix.

Would it be possible to ask for the use of frequency suffixes in the range boxes i.e 800MHz or 1Ghz instead of always entering in Hz?

4 years ago I think the sweep button is not working correctly. I see that there is a sweep in progress, but there is visual indication, meaning, the vertical cursor is not sweeping like in Version 0.19a. Maybe it is my machine, but I don’t see an indication that a sweep is being performed. But just let me say that I know it is happening, button or no button.

About the "use of frequency suffixes" - its is planned, please open separate issue
