Transmit data with PlutoSDR but no signal
I follow the instructions to build the project on Ubuntu 20.04. Then create "gpssim.bin" and try to transmit to Pluto SDR via "plutoplayer".
Command lines are shown as:
./gps-sdr-sim -e brdc0360.23n -l 1.378898,103.807031,100 -d 300 -s 4000000
./plutoplayer -t gpssim.bin -a -80.0 -b 5.0
Everything seems fine and the console shows "Transmit starts" but when I use "GPS test" to check the sinal , no satellite is found(Andorid,only on Plane mode) I don't know if the device is transmitting or not. Anyway to trace it? How could I find out If something goes wrong ? Any help would be sincerely appreciated :)
I checked with UBlox, it received signals but the data invalid.
Have you replaced the TXCO on Pluto?
@John132-LI The original XO on the PlutoSDR board has a very large frequency offset. You need to supply more stable external clock input or replace it to a TCXO. https://s-taka.org/en/plutosdr-tcxo-upgrade/
Thanks for your help. 👍 It turns out that the TX1 channel goes wrong. I get rid of it and finnally receive signal. But when I try another test, this error occurs:
* Transmit starts... ERROR: READ LINE: -32 Error pushing buf -32 Done. ERROR: READ LINE: -32 ERROR: READ LINE: -32
What's happening?

@DanishAliChanna Hi,thanks for you reply. My problem is that there was a wrecked capacitor on the motherboard. It took me a few days to find that. So I replaced it with a new one then everything went fine! Unfortunately it's been more than half a year and I've forgotten the details. But I assure that using "Player.c" is the easiest way to create the ouput signal. May all go well with you!
Hello dear, Thank you for your reply. actually i want to ask you, have you modified TCXO in plutoSDR for transmitting gps signals? i have read the thread that the owner was saying to update this. I am stuck with this problem. can you please help me out to get rid of this issue. since last month i am struggling with this. can you send me the default setup of your project? or can you give me your whatsapp or any other kind of contact so i can discuss with you on this topic. to be very honest i am not going to take your long time i just want your 5 minutes to discuss the default setup of this project.
thank you once again for your kind response, i am waiting to hear from you.
regards

hello john132-LI
i am also using pluto sdr. But i cant transmit the signal. It is saying plutoplayer is not recognised. As you have already used it, can you help me out with what i should do here.
