Video Not Working? Fix It Now

This video will walk you through how to enable the 2nd Rx and the 2nd Tx channel of the new revision of Pluto: Rev C. If you have Rev B, it won't work. You can only get the 2nd channels with Rev C or later. We'll go through 4 steps: 1. Update the firmware 2. Set the environmental variables 3. Add the u.FL to SMA connectors 4. Simple Python example Here's the links used in the video: https://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/pluto/hacking/hardware https://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/pluto/users/firmware https://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/pluto/devs/booting#all_environmental_settings_table https://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/pluto/users/customizing#updating_to_the_ad9364 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/336313-12-0050/ARF2360-ND/5417985?itemSeq=364083182 https://wiki.analog.com/sdrseminars https://analogdevicesinc.github.io/pyadi-iio/ https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/pyadi-iio/tree/master/examples Example in Python: https://github.com/jonkraft/PlutoSDR_Labs/blob/master/Pluto_revC_rev2.py Chapters: 0:00 Introduction to the new Pluto "Rev C" 2:02 Check your Pluto Revision 3:14 Step 1: Update Pluto's Firmware 4:41 Step 2: Set Pluto to AD9361 7:18 Step 3: Add SMA's to Rx2 and Tx2 8:57 Step 4: Install Pluto drivers and Python libraries 10:14 Example Python program using both channels
