I2C question
#atu-100
The firmware in the ATU100 (vsn 3.2) uses I2C to drive the lcd/oled display.? I want to modify the code to allow the PIC to communicate with a Raspberry PI to allow pre-set tuning.? I need a I2C

Re: Bad chinese toriods
A few years back, I purchased some T37-2 toroids from a random seller on ebay. When I first bought them, I made a series tuned circuit for ~7MHz in series with a 50 ohm resistor. It read significantly

Bad chinese toriods
I purchased a couple of AliExpress ATU-100 kits in the past. My first one worked okay, but worked a lot better after updating the diodes. The second one remained unbuilt for a future project. In the

Re: ATU-10: an alternative PCB layout?
Hello ZAO, If you assume a 50ohm system and max input of 10W (40dBm) and the max input of the AD8361 is 0.4Vrms (5dBm) that implies a coupling ratio and voltage divider attenuation of -35dBm ? What

The issues are caused because the nature of the design.? N7DDC did a great job on this design and made it open source including the code.? There are dozens of small companies selling "their" version

Re: ATU-10 v1.2 board programmed, but no oled display
The hex code listed on Git hub is display specific.? I have attached the hex file for Ver 3,2 for QRP using the 0.96" square 4-line display.

I am working on similar project.? Does anyone have the EEPROM code? .? The tuner I am trying to modify has the locked the read function.

Re: ATU-10: an alternative PCB layout?
I'm probably having a blonde moment here but as the?AD8361 is an RF detector for the 100MHz-2GHz range how can it be accurate at the lower HF frequencies? Just curious... Robbie M1ROK

Re: ATU-10: an alternative PCB layout?
Hello! The PCB is designed to accept SOT-23-6. My point of view - because the capacitors and inductors have only 128 steps (just seven relays, so 2[sup]7[/sup] available values), there is no sense in

Re: ATU-10: an alternative PCB layout?
The AD8361 is a great part and ideal for this application or as a mWattmeter. Are you testing the SOIC or SOT23 package ? You might have to add a better (more bits) ADC with a I2C interface like the

Re: ATU-10: an alternative PCB layout?
Hi, I think that it is a very interesting concept and as soon as I can get hold of a PCB I will definitely try that. Vy 73 de Rolf, DL8BAG

Re: ATU-10: an alternative PCB layout?
Dear Michael, My goal is an attempt to make it possible to tune with as little RF-power as possible. The original project (just as most other SWR-meters and ATUs) employs diodes as RF-detectors. This

Thanks Tony - Forgive my ignorance, how does this improve the system?? I'm learning as I go here.

Re: ATU-10: an alternative PCB layout?
Dear Michael, I did not change much - there are the same 0603 capacitors and resistors, the board is mostly the same as the original. Only the diodes are replaced with the AD8361 detectors and an

I agree, the quality is by far not the same as Elecraft or QRP-Labs or Heathkit (used tobe). And I had to buy pcb from one supplyer and housing as well as diplay from another. Vy 73 de Rolf, DL8BAG
