Simon PurplePlaNET simon at purpleplanet.orgHi there, That's odd - do you have WiringPi installed? https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/wiringpi/download-and-install/ The script makes use of this excellent program to control the GPIO and also to report on the pin status. Originally I was using the native method of controlling the GPIO using export and echoing a value to the files on the pi. I stumbled onto WiringPi, which makes controlling the pins far simpler and does not require root privs to set them up.

It's quite strange....the rtl.data is created in the same folder of your script... Taking a look at rtl.data, it contains the correct output of the standard output of rtl_tcp. Any idea? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/osmocom-sdr/attachments/20130510/fbd2f409/attachment.htm>
