gr-blocks Add Msg to Var and Var to Msg Conversion Blocks
These 3 new blocks provide the missing glue to move between messages and variables in the same flowgraph. There are 3 variants here: 1. Monitor a variable and produce a user-specified message (pair) when the variable changes. Useful bridging standard GUI controls to message-based blocks. 2. When an inbound message (pair) is received, update a specified variable. 3. When an inbound message (dict) is received, extract a single dictionary entry and produce a message pair (useful if you have a multi-value dictionary but you just want to pull off a single attribute such as frequency or gain without modifying the upstream block. This can be paired with (2) if necessary to move from a dictionary item to a variable.
