The previous tutorial, Creating Python OOT with gr-modtool, describes how to create a Python block in an OOT module. This c++ OOT tutorial builds upon the previous Python one, so it is is suggested to at least complete the Installation Note and Creating an OOT Module portions of that tutorial before completing this one.

Adding a New Block

Move to the gr-customModule directory:

cd your-path/gr-customModule

Add a new block named multDivSelector:

$ gr_modtool add multDivSelector

The types of blocks will be displayed:

GNU Radio module name identified: customModule
('sink', 'source', 'sync', 'decimator', 'interpolator', 'general', 'tagged_stream', 'hier', 'noblock')

Enter sync as the block type:

Enter block type: sync

Enter cpp as the language:

Language (python/cpp): cpp
