Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Error when trying to run two python programs simultaneously

[drcabrejos]

Josh,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I tried using this command, but this command seems to be applied if I have 2
USRPs connected to a single computer.

On my case, I have 2 computers and 1 USRP connected to each computer.

Each USRP have 2 RFX2400 daughterboards.

I'm trying to run both programs "tunnel.py" and "usrp_spectrum_sense.py" at
the same time, each one using a different daughterboard.

tunnel.py would use side A while usrp_spectrum_sense.py would use side B.

Then I got the error saying that the USB port was already in use and would
not be able to run the second program.

Would it be possible to run both programs simultaneously in 1 USRP. This is
because on both sides I'd be doing the same thing. Spectrum sensing and
continuous communication.

Thanks!

David Cabrejos
