Re: Programming & compiling from github source code
Onno, Dave & David F.,
I was thinking of implementing the code for STM32 and Arduino. Especially?STM32 is close to my heart but Arduino would give a very easy development with no programmer needed. Arduino framework is also available for STM32 cpu's.
So would it be beneficial to try to port the code to plain C that would compile in many environments with some preprocessor magic?

Onno, I'd be very glad to help.? I am a software developer and write in C and C++ all day long, for embedded processors.? I've just pulled down the source code for version 3.2.? ? My PICkit 3 should arrive today, and I downloaded the MPE X LAB IDE and the XC compilers.??
I agree with David F that we will have to replace the library functions.??
Question for David F:? Would you be interested if we did this in a way that allowed the sources to be built under EITHER tool chain?? And then we could avoid forking the source tree (based upon the tool chain)???
While I agree the MikroC version would work 'as-is', it costs $250 just for the assembler/compiler/linker.
Onno, I'm not a frequent user of github, so I'm not sure how easy it would be for us to co-develop this feature.? If you are already well into it, I could just let you go 'first'.??

Hi,
I made a 1500W tuner according to the EU2AV scheme (PIC 16F1938 processor).
David N7DDC firmware based on old version 2.7.
Question for David,
is it possible to do it on software version 3.1 or 3.2 and display the correct power value?

Re: Bypass mode behaviour & high SWR on 6m
Hi David,
OK, understand the string length, can you reveal where it can be changed ?
RR re SWR on 6m , I fixed mine? - I found the one of the SO239s on the back panel was slightly loose.?
thanks
Tim

You can change the prescription ATU-100 trough a hex changing but you can not add any symbol more in that string.
To All - 1000 W version is much larger physically , has different relays and has larger own L and C values so SWR will be larger too .

Re: Programming & compiling from github source code
Hi David,
I understand it's easier to use microc ide because that's the environment used for the original program.?
Unfortunately the cost associated is high. Combined with a pic 4 programmer I would arrive at around $350 and that's a lot for a small hobby project.?
I have used pickit 2 in the past and wrote assembly to program pic controllers. At the time I also looked at microc and learned it only worked on windows which for me was another showstopper. I don't have windows.?

Hi.
You have to change some specific built in functions like Button , ADC, Conversion.?
Also pic configuration and ports settings.
Nothing difficult but it can take a time.
Better use MicroC IDE.

Re: port the firmware to MPLAB X IDE
#atu-100
I am currently reading into it and writing new code using Mlab x compiler. Started last week. Regards Onno?
Hi,
? Has anyone thought about porting the mikroC code over to the MPLAB X IDE (with it's C compiler)?? ?The MPLAB IDC and toolchain is free, connects directly to the PICKit for programming.? ?The mikroC costs $250.? ?
? ?I understand the mikroC libraries do not exist on MPLAB, but they have their own libraries.
? ?In fact, we could even make the code buildable with EITHER toolchain.
? I'm willing to work on this, but wonder if it has already been done, or if there is any interest.

Chinese clones - not working as expected
#ATU-10
So,
? ? ?after reading about this particular design i stumbled over various stores selling supposed clones of the design. As it suited my needs and my price point i pulled the trigger and ordered one. The device itself seems to be well constructed however it simply does not work as you would expect and fails to tune well even with a resonant antenna. Now I should stress I am not a constructor and my soldering skills are not of the highest quality so I would have no clue how to diagnose the problems with the units. However I have ended up with two of these and would dearly like to get them working. If there's anyone in the UK who might have the skills I'd be happy to send you my two units (yes I've got two of them) to see if the issue can be determined. In return I'd be happy to let the other party retain one of them for their own use.?
If anyone wants to take a look let me know.
thanks
Adam. (photos attached).

Re: Anyone in Germany able to repair ATU-10 ?
Hi
You probably need to give more
information. It's often difficult to diagnose remotely, any
electronics.
At least what PCB are you using,
software, what exactly is the problem, etc.

Re: Programming & compiling from github source code
Ok understood. So the code relies on embedded functions as offered by the microc compiler environment. Unfortunately this makes the code difficult to use with other compilers.?
I will check if I can write similar functions such as button debouncing and using the i2c interface. Most is provided by microchip ide too but I need to search and learn first.?
Or i strip of all the button and display stuff since I am going to use it for remote tuning only.? Simplifying the code for it's purpose.
I am grateful this tuner got developed and code has been provided through GitHub. It gives a good start to learn.?

Re: Bypass mode behaviour & high SWR on 6m
I don't have such high see on 50 MHz.
Bypass relay is normally closed and with power off swr is 1.1:3. When power is connected and unit switches to bypass the relay is closed too.?
Tuning on 50mhz also works well with a random wire about 10 meters long.?
Perhaps I have a different version.

Hi David,
OK, thanks - the Russian 1kW unit purports to operate to 6m and
it does tune there nicely but the through SWR is higher than it
should be.
A question for you... Where in the hex is the string "ATU-100"
stored ?
I'd like to change mine to "ATU-1000" to match the tuner if
possible.
regards
Tim

That is normal behavior, because on my tuner this position of C
switch relay gives better SWR.
Please keep in mind, ATU 100 tuner works well on 3.5 - 28 Mhz only

Thanks for the info, yours is a bit clearer than the docs on github.
I bought my tuner from Russia so I am sure than they parts a good quality.
I know that it handles at least 500w OK, as it works very well with my
station, or did until I updated the s/w without taking a copy off the
eeprom data.
I haven't seen the odd behaviour that you are seeing, I seem to have a
different problem, I'll start a separate thread for that.
cheers
