Hello all
I am trying to get the python wrapper "pyrtlsdr" working on Windows, it works fine on Linux
The dongle works fine in SDR-SHARP.exe It imports correctly but prints the following error when I try to initialize the Dongle:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\M0ZJO\Desktop\RA_Astro\FFTPrint Test.py", line 4, in <module> sdr = RtlSdr() File "build\bdist.win32\egg\rtlsdr\rtlsdr.py", line 60, in __init__ % (result, device_index)) IOError: Error code -3 when opening SDR (device index = 0)
RTL_FM also returns the same error. Can anyone help? I would be very grateful!
Many thanks
Jonathan/M0ZJO
libusb docs indicate that -3 is:
http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0.16/group__misc.html#ggab2323aa0f04bc22...
LIBUSB_ERROR_ACCESS Access denied (insufficient permissions)
Sounds like you have a permission problem? Best I can do to help you, I've never even seen a windows machine. :)
