Got a question concerning the byte data type in GNU Radio. I am writing
my own PSK modulator and I am having an issue understanding how the byte
data type appears as I am using it for my input.
I know byte is a char data type in C++ however how does it come in? Is
it the binary data stream of a character? Is it exactly how it is typed
in, e.g. 1, 3, 5?
I am asking because the test data I am trying to modulate is a series of
prime numbers in a vector source block. So I am not entirely sure if I
have to do the conversion to binary myself. I have tried to do a file
sink to see how char data appear but the file is just repeating
characters that make no sense.
byte is just that -- bytes. If you're reading from a file, the bytes of this file get streamed as-is.
Don't confuse this with characters / strings! If you write '23' into a file, you'll get two bytes, with the ASCII codes of each character.
