# Global Navigation Satellite Systems Software-Defined Receivers explained. Part 1: Digital frontend

## Overview

In software-defined and software-oriented GNSS receivers, systems engineers can decouple the satellite signal processing into two separate stages: group and individual.

1. Group signal processing is performed on the whole subband of the signal spectrum without distinguishing the signals of the individual satellite vehicles (SV). This is implemented by the digital frontend block, where the number of channels is roughly the number of processed signals (GPS L1 C/A, GLONASS L1OF etc.).
2. Individual signal processing is the traditional digital channel explained in-depth by many authors [Kaplan, Springer]. This will be explained in the Part 4: Correlation article.

The digital frontend may be perceived as a signal conditioner, the purpose of it is to prepare the input signal for the subsequent processing: translate the signal spectrum, reduce the data rate, remove interference and pack the signal in a format, suitable for the correlator.

There are two major beneficial aspects of using the digital frontend:

1. As I’ve mentioned earlier (Frequency plan), ADCs usually operate on a fixed sampling rate, which often is not optimal for the specific signals. The resampling part of the digital frontend allows us to reduce the sampling rate individually for every group signal, hence reducing the computational load on the correlators.

For example, if the ADC is providing samples with 79.5 MHz and we want to develop a narrowband GPS L1 C/A timing receiver we can downsample the incoming signal by the factor of 20 (down to 3.975 MHz). In that case, we’ll perform one spectrum translation on the high frequency and resampling, but the following N (by the number of satellites) translations and correlations would take 20 times fewer operations for both mixer and correlator.

2. By separating the group and individual SV processing it is possible to separate the timing approach as well. For real-time receivers (implemented with FPGAs or ASICs), the group processing is often implemented synchronously with the ADC clock (~ tens of MHz), but the resulting signal can be saved to the internal memory and then processed in a co-processor manner, running as fast as it can be synthesized/clocked in case of FPGA or ASIC accordingly. The benefit here is that the same hardware can be reused for the benefit of silicon area optimization.

The second aspect is not so relevant for the PC-based receivers, since it’s virtually impossible to organize the sample-based streamed data, and those kinds of receivers are asynchronous by design.

## Mixer

Mixers are the devices used to translate the signal, which results in the shift in the frequency domain. Most digital mixers are complex and perform the multiplication of the input signal with the complex exponent: $result(t) = input(t) * e^{-j(2\pi ft + \varphi)}$

With the transition to the digital signal processing and samples, this can be re-written as: $result[i] = input[i] * e^{-j(2\pi i\frac{f}{f_s} + \varphi)}$

For the demonstration, I’ve used a simple Jupyter Notebook so you can try it yourself.

First of all, we download and read the data buffer. For the sake of simplicity of the demonstration I’ll convert the data to the floating-point:

file_link = 'https://www.dropbox.com/s/b2il4hnu30fup7c/GPSdata-DiscreteComponents-fs38_192-if9_55_partial.bin?dl=1'
filename = 'GPSdata-DiscreteComponents-fs38_192-if9_55.bin'
fs = 38.192e6
intermediate_frequency = 9.55e6

signal_data = np.fromfile(filename, dtype=np.int8).astype('float')

To illustrate the data properties, we’ll plot the power spectrum via Welch’s method, the first 100 microseconds and the signal histogram:

As it was mentioned earlier, to translate the signal we’d have to multiply it by the complex sine:

time = np.arange(signal_data.shape[0]) / fs
sine = np.exp(-1j * 2 * np.pi * time  * intermediate_frequency)
translated_signal = signal_data * sine

Here are the key points that can be observed in the results of the multiplication:

1. Since we’re multiplying the real signal with the complex exponent we can observe the spectrum repetition in the frequency domain plot. This is present because the real signal has a spectrum that’s symmetrical relative to the $\frac{f_s}{2}$. This won’t affect the following processing as long as we have a proper anti-aliasing filter in the downsampling block.
2. The peak at -9.55MHz is the DC part of the spectrum being translated to the negative intermediate frequency.
3. The multiplication operation is linear and doesn’t change the nature of the underlying signal.

### Verification of operations

It’s always good to check and test your algorithms and operations throughout the development process. In those articles, I’ll omit most of the tests for demonstration purposes but I intend to keep the most visual and high-level test: the matched filter test.

The matched filter is an optimal filter, designed to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio. It has a complex frequency response conjugated to the complex frequency response of the signal it is designed to detect. According to the convolution theorem, we can substitute the circular convolution with the multiplication in the frequency domain. Therefore, the Python code for the matched filter is straightforward:

def MatchedFilter(signal_data, code_data):
return np.fft.ifft(np.fft.fft(signal_data) * np.conj(np.fft.fft(code_data)))

Since we’re working on a well-known GNSS dataset, we can use external information about the signals present. I’ll use a GPS SV21, but any satellite can be used. With known Doppler offset this test performs an additional spectrum translation, upsamples the PRN code and calculates the matched filter output, which is then being normalized and plotted:

### Hardware-friendly optimizations

It is worth pointing out that digital signal processing devices and GNSS receivers in particular rarely operate with floating-point values and usually work with integers.

:information_source: Interestingly, with my research on PC-based software-defined receivers, fp32 digital signal processing routines significantly outperformed the integer-based ones, while both approaches were implemented with the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives library. I’m looking forward to evaluating the performance and accuracy of the lower-resolution floating-point values (like fp16, bfloat16 or even fp8) but without the optimized libraries and hardware support, this kind of research isn’t available yet.

The most hardware-friendly approach for the integer-sine is a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) with the corresponding phase-to-value sine table.

NCO may be viewed as an arbitrary precision unsigned integer with the full-scale treated as a period of the target function. NCOs have two main input parameters: phase accumulator value (phase) and an adder (relative frequency). The bit depth of the NCO is directly related to the possible frequency precision it’s able to achieve. NCOs are widely used in various digital signal processing systems for both receivers and transceivers.

To create a sine with an NCO it’s required to precalculate the lookup table that will convert the NCO phase into the amplitude of the target function. Usually, the number of these lookup table entries is much smaller than the resolution of the NCO. To address this issue and keep the frequency resolution of the NCO the index in the lookup table can be achieved as the higher $M$ bits of the $N$-bit phase accumulator.

Another thing worth pointing out: if your lookup table is filled with integers (scaled sine values) you may find that the bus width is not enough for several consecutive operations. For that matter, you might use a so-called normalizer block, which is a scale-down operation. To illustrate this: your input is an 8-bit and the lookup table is also using 8 bits to represent the sine. When you multiply the two numbers the worst-case scenario is that you’ll require 17 bits to store the result.

The rule of thumb: when you’re adding two integer numbers, the required bit depth will be increased by one from the max: result_bit_depth = 1 + max(bit_depth_first, bit_depth_second).

If you’re multiplying two integer numbers you’re facing the sum of the bit depths increased by one: result_bit_depth = 1 + bit_depth_first} * bit_depth_second.

This is an interesting and very well-reviewed topic, mainly targeted at the microelectronics and FPGA engineers, but if you think this chapter would benefit from a more detailed review please do let me know.

## Resampler

Changing the data rate of the digital signal is a complex task with numerous approaches, each with its set of pros and cons. The preferred type may vary based on the subsequent processing stages, a priori information about the signal and limitations of the hardware platform. The upsampling routine may be described as a two step-process: inserting $N-1$ zeroes between the source samples with the (optional) follow-up low-pass filtering to suppress spectrum copies. Filtering type is the main customization point of the upsampling methods. To name a few:

1. Lack of low-pass filtering. This will induce minimal signal distortion, but is only applicable if the subsequent stages are tolerant to the spectrum copies;
2. Digital low-pass filtering with a cutoff frequency of $\frac{f_{sOld}}{2}$, to suppress the spectrum copies. Filter design is always a trade-off between suppression level, passband ripple and hardware complexity. However, this method provides one of the best results and is used internally in the resample function in MATLAB;
3. Low-pass filtering in the frequency domain will achieve the best results in exchange for increased computational complexity. However, this would be a good fit for post-processing applications;
4. CIC-based filters. This design was used quite a lot due to the very hardware-friendly architecture with no multiplications involved. However, a very specific roll-off of the frequency response should be noted, which is commonly being compensated with the following FIR-filter, which negates the hardware complexity profit.

The easiest and most vectorized-friendly way to do insert zeros in Python and MATLAB environments is to resize the input vector: $\begin{pmatrix} s_0 \\ s_1 \\ \vdots \\ s_{M-1} \end{pmatrix}$

into the matrix with zero-filled columns $\begin{pmatrix} s_0 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\ s_1 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ s_{M-1} & 0 & \cdots & 0 \end{pmatrix}$

For example, we’ll upsample by the factor of four. After that, to get the vector we need, we’ll reshape the matrix into the flattened vector $\begin{pmatrix} s_0 & 0 & \cdots & 0 & s_1 & 0 & \cdots & 0 & \cdots & & s_{M-1} & 0 & \cdots & 0 \end{pmatrix}$

upsampled_signal = translated_signal;
upsampled_signal = np.c_[upsampled_signal, np.zeros(upsampled_signal.shape[0]), np.zeros(upsampled_signal.shape[0]), np.zeros(upsampled_signal.shape[0])]
upsampled_signal = upsampled_signal.ravel()
PlotSignal(upsampled_signal, fs * 4, 'Upsampled signal')

It will produce a signal with the following spectral and temporal characteristics:

There are two main points in this signal:

1. The spectrum is periodical and repeated. This is due to the properties of the digital signal
2. The histogram shows a lot of zeros because for every normally distributed sample we’ve inserted $N - 1$ zeros.

Integer resampling is an expansion of the previous task with the downsampling follow-up. Downsampling may be viewed as an inverted upsampling: low-pass filtering with the following signal decimation (taking every $M$th sample). Downsampling filter types are the same with the only difference in cutoff frequency: $M\frac{f_{sOld}}{2}$.

### Hardware-friendly optimizations

One of the hardware-efficient downsampling methods I’ve been using a lot in GNSS signal processing is accumulation, in which every output sample is the (normalized) sum of $M$ samples of the input samples.

For the sake of vectorization, interpreter-based languages can perform accumulation as a pair of reshaping and column-wise sums. Similar to the upsampling, the input vector $\begin{pmatrix} s_0 \\ s_1 \\ \vdots \\ s_{M-1} \end{pmatrix}$

is reshaped into the $(M / N, N)$ matrix $\begin{pmatrix} s_0 & s_1 & \cdots & s_{N-1} \\ s_N & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ \cdots & \cdots & \cdots & s_{M-1} \end{pmatrix}$

and then being row-wise summed $\begin{pmatrix} \sum_{i=0}^{N-1} s_i \\ \sum_{i=N}^{2N-1} s_i \\ \vdots \\ \end{pmatrix}$

fs_down = fs / 4
time_down = np.arange(translated_signal.shape[0] / 4) / fs_down
reshaped = translated_signal.reshape((-1, 4))
accumulated = reshaped.sum(axis=1) / 4
PlotSignal(accumulated, fs_down, 'Downsampled signal')

The point of accumulating is the implicit low-pass filtering with a $\frac{sin(x)}{x}$ frequency response, which is relatively inefficient from the high-frequency suppression point of view, but it’s one of the most easy-to-implement digital filters I’ve seen.

## Signal packer

The final operation in the digital frontend is to save the final group signal into the local memory in the format, suitable for the used correlator implementation. This is a hardware-dependent block and all the possibilities should be thoroughly benchmarked.

One of the things worth pointing out here is that since the digital frontend can be treated as a continuation of the traditional analog RF frontend, it’s possible to interpret the signal packer as some kind of the ADC. For example, if there’s no interference present (or mitigated, more on that in Part 2: Jamming mitigation), the resulting signal can be stored with low precision: 1 or 2 bits, like the ADCs, used widely in GNSS frontends.

Another benefit of such low-precision signal storage is the possibility to implement the correlator block to operate on such packed data. It will allow to increase the throughput of the block and reduce the required silicon area.

Curiously, during my experiments with PC-based digital signal processing, the most performant versions turned out to be the float-based ones. This can be explained simply by the fact that with floats we’re only required to perform the operations we intend to: multiply, add, accumulate etc. On the other hand, if we’re dealing with integers (or even packed integers) the number of operations and memory accesses is increased because now it’s necessary to unpack the data, scale the result and pack it back.

## Summary

This chapter has provided a brief overview and explanation of the digital frontend block for the software-defined GNSS receivers. It, by no means, is a necessary part of the receiver, but it provides enough flexibility for the system engineers to design the receiver tailored for the specific market and/or applications.

Using the digital frontend in the GNSS receiver design allows decoupling of the synchronous digital processing, performed at the ADC sampling rate, from the asynchronous correlation processing. This, in turn, helps to design a more flexible signal data flow with additional filtering and resampling.

Another essential part of the digital frontend is the jamming detection and mitigation block, but I’ve decided to dedicate a standalone chapter to it since the topic is very deep.

We can also use integration to find the relative amounts of substances present. For example, if we have a mixture of iodomethane and chloromethane dissolved in solution, the ratio of the two peak areas will give the relative amounts of these two compounds. This is useful for determining purity and product yield. We can introduce a known amount of one sample and use its concentration to determine the concentration of another species in solution. The one caution here is that the relative peak areas need to be normalized for the number of protons that produce the signal. In the example of iodomethane and chloromethane, this is easy since they both have methyl groups and the signals are both due to three protons. However, if we were to determine the concentration of dichloromethane versus chloromethane, we would need to take into account that one molecule has three H atoms whereas the other only has two.

Examples:

Butane

The two methyl groups are equivalent to each other, as are the two methylene groups. We would expect to see two signals in a 6:4 or 3:2 ratio.

Pentane

The two methyl groups are equivalent to each other, as are two of the two methylene groups. The middle methylene group is unique. In principle, we would expect to see three signals in a 6:4:2 or 3:2:1 ratio.

Ethyl acetate

Ethyl acetate has three types of H atoms. There are two methyl groups and one methylene group. We would expect to see three signals in a 3:3:2 area ratio.

## Coupling

Coupling is another very important aspect of NMR spectroscopy that gives a great deal of information about structure. Coupling results in a signal being split into more signals due to neighboring atoms which also have a nuclear spin. This arises frequently between protons on adjacent carbon atoms. One important aspect of this phenomenon is that equivalent nuclei do not couple to each other.

The reason coupling occurs can be described as follows. For example, let us consider the case of a molecule containing two carbon atoms, each with a single proton and other atoms which do not have a nuclear spin coupling to the protons. One such molecule is 1,1-dibromo-2,2-dichloroethane.

The protons in this molecule are not equivalent, so we would expect to see two signals. Additionally, the proton attached to the ${\text{CCl}}_{2}$ group will have two different spin states, +1/2 and -1/2. This means that the proton on the ${\text{CBr}}_{2}$ group will see two slightly different magnetic fields depending upon whether the proton on the ${\text{CCl}}_{2}$ group is in the +1/2 or -1/2 spin state. Since these spin states are not equivalent in the presence of a large external magnetic field, we actually observe two signals for the H atom attached to the ${\text{CBr}}_{2}$ group. This is also true for the hydrogen atom attached to the ${\text{CCl}}_{2}$ group. In these situations, we say that the proton on the ${\text{CCl}}_{2}$ is coupled to the proton on the ${\text{CBr}}_{2}$ group. When a peak is split into two equal components by coupling, it is called a doublet. We would expect the proton NMR spectrum of 1,1-dibromo-2,2-dichloroethane to look something like this:

# Matter-wave interference from free falling cold atoms

and another exam question, this is about current research:

Interference of matter waves has been studied using ultra-cold atoms. The phase of a matter wave for free-falling cold-atoms at time $t$ and height $y$ is given as $$\phi(y,t) = \phi(y_0,t) + Et - \int_{y_0}^y dy' k(y')$$ where $E$ is the total energy of individual coherent atoms and $\hbar k(y)$ is the semi-classical momentum of falling atoms at height $y$. A recent experiment observed coherent matter waves continuously emitted from two vertical micro-traps (you can neglect the size of the traps) with height $-\lambda/2$ and $\lambda/2$. The atoms are emitted at rest from the traps.

A) For a given height $y$ below the two micro-traps, derive the condition of constructive and destructive interference.

Well, from basic wave mechanics I know that the phase difference of the two waves has to be an even (constructive) or odd (destructive) multiple of $\pi$, but apart from that I find the question poorly worded: What does $t$ refer to? Total time in laboratory frame, or time since leaving the trap? And what about the function $\phi(y_0,t)$? If I don't know its form, can I say anything meaningful about the interference pattern at all?

-
The formula you indicated above is for ONE wave. For two waves you will have superposition, i.e. ϕ_1(y,t) + ϕ_2(y,t), where in ϕ_1(y,t) = ϕ_1(y_{0,1},t_1) + E_1(t-t_1) + ∫dy'k_1(y') with the integral from y_{0,1}, to y, and ϕ_2(y,t) = ϕ_2(y_{0,2},t_2) + E_1(t-t_2) + ∫dy'k_2(y') . – Sofia Nov 20 '14 at 20:30

analytic function on the upper half plane that maps to right half plane is constant.

Let $$f$$ be analytic on the upper half plane $$\mathbb{H}$$ and continuous on $$\overline{\mathbb{H}}$$. Assume that $$\Re f(z)\geq 0$$ on $$\mathbb{H}$$ and $$f(x)\in \mathbb{R}$$ for $$x\in \mathbb{R}$$ Prove that $$f$$ is constant.

My initial thought is to show that this function is entire, using Schwarz reflection principle (which I'm not too familiar with), and then show that is is in fact bounded, to use Liouville's theorem to conclude that $$f$$ is constant. But I'm not sure how to get a grip on this problem.

Your idea is correct: You start by defining the extended function $$\tilde{f}:\mathbb{C}\to \mathbb{C},\quad \tilde{f}(z):=\begin{cases} f(z) & z\in\overline{\mathbb{H}}\\ \overline{f(z)} & z\in \mathbb{C}\setminus \overline{\mathbb{H}} \end{cases}.$$ By the Schwarz reflection principle this function is holomorphic on the whole of $$\mathbb{C}$$, i.e. entire.
But this entire function again satisfies $$\Re(\tilde{f})\ge 0$$. Now the function $$z\mapsto e^{-\tilde{f}(z)}$$ is again entire and is bounded, as $$|e^{-\tilde{f}(z)}|=|e^{-\Re(\tilde{f}(z))}|\leq 1.$$ Thus by Liouville $$e^{-\tilde{f}(z)}$$ is constant. But this implies that $$\tilde{f}(z)$$ is constant and hence $$f$$ itself is constant.

## Description

Hello!
Thank you for the amazing datatool!

I have an issue with a spurious line appearing in a tabular environment.

I spent hours on datatool.sty with \tracingall and \tracingmacro=1 tracking some spurious active space or cr but did not find anything...

So I wrote this bug report with a simple example to exhibit the issue. Actually I found no sample in the documentation with a \hline at the end that would have shown this bug...

Thank you!

\end{document}

## Evaluation

This is unfortunately a feature rather than a bug and is why all the examples in the manual place \\ at the start of the final argument of \DTLforeach. This is due to additional stuff that has to be performed at the end of each iteration (such as incrementing the row counter) and this causes LaTeX to think a new row has started in the tabular.

This can be illustrated with a slight modification to your manual tabular:

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|r|}
\hline
A & B & C\\\hline
C & D & E\\\hline\def\tmp{stuff}%
\end{tabular}

This also adds an unwanted row.

There's no way to fix this as the commands at the end of each iteration have to come after the supplied code has been performed. The only way around this is to move the \\\hline to the start of the body. For example:

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|r|}%
\hline%
\DTLforeach{mydata}{%
\firstname=FirstName,\surname=Surname,\score=Score}{%
\DTLiffirstrow{}{\\\hline}\firstname & \surname & \score}%
\\\hline
\end{tabular}

I will have to close this as not a bug, but I will emphasis this feature in the manual.

# Calculate the displacement of device in unity

I'm making a 3D game in unity where the object should move forward and backward as the android device moves/accelerates in the Z axes. ie. When the player moves the devise in the direction of the +ve Z axis, the object should move forward, and when the player moves the devise in the direction of the -ve Z axis, the object should move backward.

This game is a multiplayer game, and the players will move in a large football field.

My idea to do this is using the accelerometer to calculate the acceleration of the device, then integrate the data of acceleration to get the device speed in the Z axis. and use the speed to move the device.

Using this equation

V2=V1 + ΔA . ΔT
Where
V2 : final velocity.
V1 : initial velocity.
ΔA : difference between the initial and final acceleration.
ΔT : difference between the initial and final time.

At first I tried to use kinematic equations to calculate the final speed, but I realized then that it can be only used when acceleration is constant. So a friend of me who studies physics differentiated this equation for me to use it when acceleration is variable.

I know that there will be some error in calculating the accurate displacement, and that the error will increase after the integration of acceleration, but this small percentage of error is okay for my application; I thought at first in using GPS instead of accelerometer but I found that GPS accuracy will be less than the sensors.

I know also that the error will be incredibly high after some time, so I reset the values of acceleration and velocity every 10 seconds. I'm also using a low-pass filter to reduce the noise of the sensor.

public class scriptMove : MonoBehaviour
{
const float kFilteringFactor = 0.1f;

public Vector3 A1;
public Vector3 A2;
public Vector3 A2ramping; // for the low-pass filter
public Vector3 V1;
public Vector3 V2;

public int SpeedFactor=1000; //this factor is for increasing acceleration to move in unity world

void resetAll()
{
Input.gyro.enabled = true;
A2 = Vector3.zero;
V1 = Vector3.zero;
V2 = Vector3.zero;
A2ramping = Vector3.zero;
}
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
InvokeRepeating("resetAll", 0, 10);
}

//http://stackoverflow.com/a/1736623
Vector3 ramping(Vector3 A)
{
A2ramping = A * kFilteringFactor + A2ramping * (1.0f - kFilteringFactor);
return A - A2ramping;
}

void getAcceleration(float deltaTime)
{
Input.gyro.enabled = true;

A1 = A2;
A2 = ramping(Input.gyro.userAcceleration) * SpeedFactor;

V2 = V1 + (A2 - A1) * deltaTime;

V1 = V2;
}

//Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{

getAcceleration(Time.deltaTime);

float distance = -1f;
Vector3 newPos = transform.position;

transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * V2.z * distance);
}
}

## The problem:

My code doesn't work always as expected when I move with the device;

• Sometimes when I move forward (in the +ve Z axis of the device) the object moves forward also, but sometimes it doesn't move at all.
• Sometimes when I'm still in my position the object moves alone by itself.
• Sometimes when I move forward and suddenly stop, the object does not stop.

# My questions:

• Are those strange behaviors because of the accuracy of the device, or is there something I'm missing in my code.
• If I'm missing something in my code, What is it?
• I searched a lot about methods to get the most accurate position of the device, and I found that I can integrate GPS with accelerometer, how can I do this with my code in unity?
• Sorry to burst your bubble, but using the accelerometer with the GPS would actually make the GPS error a bit smaller, but since the accelerometer might be required to estimate displacements in the order of centimeters and the GPS, at best, does +/- 3 meters, one can only understand what to expect. Jul 1, 2016 at 11:52
• Your problem is quite tough and dare I say open. I've seen quite some implementations on it, most of which were tightly coupled with a certain sensor technology and were not portable to other devices. Your problem is the dreaded dead reckoning problem. E.g. researchgate.net/publication/… Jul 1, 2016 at 11:53

Well your code is very smart but Unity has already done those calculations for you and you can just use

void Update ()
{
transform.Translate(0, 0, -Input.acceleration.z);
}

as it will take the device rotation in the world and translate it into Unity same way it behaves with WASD movement.

EDIT:

a simple example code,

public class DeviceMovement : MonoBehaviour {

public float speed = 10f;

void start() {

}

void Update () {

transform.Translate(0, 0,

(-1 * Input.acceleration.z *speed * Time.deltaTime)); // adds movement on the Z axis alone.

}

}

• I tried to use Input.acceleration before. It doesn't give me the acceleration of the device, it just gives me the device's rotation. Jun 24, 2016 at 9:44
• which is what you want to base your acceleration on, if you take the current position and add Input.acceleration to it and divide it by desired speed you will get the desired acceleration. Jun 24, 2016 at 10:04
• It still doesn't work with me :( When I add this line in the update method transform.Translate(0, 0, -Input.acceleration.z/30);, the object moves forward and backward only when I rotate the device. And it doesn't move when I move forward or backward at all! I also tried the unity example about it but the example didn't work also :( Jun 24, 2016 at 10:35
• look at that example it normalize the position according to the other axises, you should just rotate sideways and accelerate forward according to your Z axis, ill find some time and ill write down the entire script, but I dont have a device I can actually check it with. Jun 24, 2016 at 18:33
• I'll appreciate that very much. thanks in advance for your help :) Jun 24, 2016 at 19:39

# Using sagemath on windows 10 : impossible to attach file

Hi! I've installed sagemath on windows 10 and I'm going crazy. The problem it seems to be that all the program is runing in some kind of temporal directory . I leave here some feedback from my console:

sage: load_attach_path()

['.']

If I change the path,

sage: load_attach_path('C:\Users\Javier\Desktop\current\height1')

['.', 'C:\\Users\\Javier\\Desktop\\current\\height1']

So we can confirm the new path was added. Inside the folder height1 I have a file "'heigth1.sage". Let's try to attach it:

sage: attach("height1.sage")

Did you try absolute paths and write \ instead of /?

Sage on Windows is still running in a UNIX-like environment called Cygwin. In Cygwin, you'll find that Windows style paths generally do work in Python. For example you'll find that the following works:

sage: print(open('C:\\Users\\Javier\\Desktop\\current\\height1\\height1.sage').read())

(Note the double-backslashes--the \ in Python is an escape character, so when you use Windows paths in Python you have to escape the backslash itself. Frequently Python will be forgiving of this if you have some \<C> that is not a known escape sequence. But if you have something like \n then it will still treat that as a newline (for example, since \n is a known escape sequence in Python).

However, it looks like there's a bug in os.path.abspath on Cygwin, where it does not recognize Windows-style paths as absolute paths. I'm glad you brought this up, since I believe that should actually be fixed in Python. This is because Python on Cygwin doesn't actually inherently understand Windows paths--the translation to UNIX-style paths happens transparently in the Cygwin layer. Oops!

You're better off using UNIX-style paths with forward-slashes. Check out what

sage: os.path.abspath('Desktop/current/height1/height1.sage')

returns. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Note that prepending the string with "r" (for "raw") avoids the need to escape backslashes:

print(open(r'C:\Users\Javier\Desktop\current\height1\height1.sage').read())
