    Hello,
    I recently updated to the latest echoes version. when it tries to save a detection it crashes with an error signal :8 I've attaches an -n5
    Any thoughts?

    forgot to add.... this is with the windows binary. it's happening with bot the 32 and 64 bit versions.
    attached are the machine specs

    Hi Kevin,
    could you send me your config file RTS so I can play it on my machine? it's a Win10
    The signal 8 is a math error, like a division by zero but I didn't found that in the logfile, I guess windows showed you a message box with this error

    hmm you know... I just realized I havent installed gnuplot.... could that be the issue? =P

      mmm... you checked "Generate GNUPLOT output" i see... but GNUPLOT is never called with acquisition running. Echoes generates data files that can be read later by gnuplot. A crash could happen if you later generate a report including GNUPLOT screenshots - in that case, Echoes invokes GNUPLOT to generate the screenshots and could crash but not during acquisition

    I just tried it with gnuplot disabled and it still crashed. it seems to crash when it gets a detection.

     
  • Kevin Palivec

    Kevin Palivec - 2019-11-20

    yes it crashes just as it reaches the bottom detection threshhold. here's a screenshot .

      is it happening also increasing the bandwith to... let's say 2000, 5000, 10000 ?

    ill give it a try

    after letting it run in both configurations it appears to crash when set to a bandwidth of 1000. so far it's run ok above that.

    Yeah, it's a problem I faced too in the past, but I never get feedbacks from other guys about it. Currently I'm using 3000hz for this reason.

    Since the next features I'll add in Echoes will have impact on the radio section, I don't plan to fix this bug,
    In fact, my goal for next release is to achieve an higher resolution and speed for small bandwidths by subsampling the radio signal. This should be significantly better than what Echoes does today: the "Bandwidth" slider acts simply as a magnifying glass and most of the sampled signal gets wasted out of the band.

    Anyway, nice you found a workaround. The next release will arrive in summer or later so it's no matter of few days, I'm too busy with work now.

    Cordially
    Giuseppe

    thats cool! hey while I'm at it can I put in a feature request? =)
    any way to have the audio play while it runs? that is... be able to hear the rtlsdr audio while echoes is running? the reason I ask is for Live streaming to youtube or facebook.
    Just a thought.

    I'll consider that, who knows, maybe next year... :o
