[Hackrf-dev] Hackrf1 with gnuradio 3.7.11 win64.msi

[j***@gmail.com]

Hello

I'm a french physics teacher not a computer expert
I use hackRf1 with grc on a Pentoo Linux USB stick boot with my students in electronics since 2 years to measure emission reception levels
with an hackrf1 for emission and a DBTV USB stick for reception both on the same computer
(I have been unable to install GRC under a Linux system otherwise)

I now try to use GRC/HackRF1 under Windows 7 ( which is my usual computer system)
The new .msi gnuradio windows installation 3.7.11 works in my computer under windows 7

GRC works without using external sources and sinks
But it doesn't works with Hackrf1 (osmocom source) it creates a python.exe bug

I tried with the DBTV USB stick rtlsdr source : grc doesn't communicate with the usb ( null source instead)

Do I need a pilot or something else to run osmocom and rtlsdr sources with GRC under windows 7?

Thank you for your help
Sincerely JFD

Where did the .msi file come from? could you give us a link to the
download?

I suspect this is because while the .msi contained GNU Radio, GRC, and
gr-osmosdr, it doesn't include the libraries required for using HackRF or
the RTL-SDR devices that gr-osmosdr uses.

I don't have much experience of using them, but I've heard good things
about the binary packages hosted here:

Thanks,
Dominic

Thank you for your answer
I tried to run GRC from the Pothos installation but GRC is unable to find my Python 2.7 already installed
I'll tried to reinstall Python 2.7
