How to Specify Device?

[benb0jangles]

HI again, I have now compiled SoapySDR for mac using all my devices. How do I specify GLRPT to select the one I choose?

command: SoapySDRUtil --info | grep "Available factories"

result: Available factories... airspy, airspyhf, audio, hackrf, lime, remote, rtlsdr, sdrplay, uhd

config folder: /usr/share/glrpt/config

Do I have to edit say 'Meteor-M2.cfg'? At present, using 'auto' in glrpt it is selecting 'audio' I would like to test with my rtlsdr

I See:

## SDR device settings

device: {
    # SoapySDR device driver name. You can find supported drivers by running:
    # SoapySDRUtil --info | grep "Available factories"
    # and picking the right one. Special value "auto" will select SDR receiver
    # that matches specified device index
    #
    # Default value: "auto"
    # Type: string <optional>
    # Valid values: any supported by SoapySDR
    driver = "auto"

    # SoapySDR device index
    #
    # Default value: 0
    # Type: uint <optional>
    # Valid values: 0 <= index <= 255
    index = 0
}

But which to edit? I am guessing change: driver = "auto" to driver = "RTLSDR" is correct??

Thanks

device index is the option for choosing proper device. to use it you should list connected devices with Soapysdr util and then select proper index. auto tries to guess first working device but may fail in some circumstances

#9 also touches the same problem so I think we will continue discussion in current thread
