Re: Serial control/monitoring of meters?
I wonder if it might work better to stick with i2c for communication. ? It's already in the code, and can work bidirectionally, so that we could send commands that way.? I see the biggest negative

Re: Serial control/monitoring of meters?
Hi Dave
This is just the feature I asked about some time ago, for remote operation
I will watch with interest, I have modified the original code to work with a larger 20x4 line display and make it

Re: Serial control/monitoring of meters?
ok, I've successfully proven this PIC can output a bit-banged uart.? ?I took one of the I/O pins (in my case, one of the input switches, which I turned into an output), and whenever the PIC writes

Re: Oled
Can you just wire the oled and the data plug together. they won't intafear with each other? Baud rate?

Re: Serial control/monitoring of meters?
Or you can use the esp io lines to simulate pressing the tune, auto and
bypass buttons.

Re: Serial control/monitoring of meters?
Yes, the ATU-100 has 2 output pins, RA6 and RA7, to talk to a transmitter.
I would like to get more info from the ATU-100.? I think SENDING data out either RA7 or RA6 as a uart signal will be most

Re: Serial control/monitoring of meters?
You do not need to send serial data to the ATU-100.
And there is a simpler way to read the status of the AT-100 than decoding the OLED display data
You can fully control the ATU-100 auto tune function

Re: Serial control/monitoring of meters?
Hi
Although cable is involved you might want to consider RS485 which will work over greater distances than RS232
It expects to see twisted pair which I think is 200 ohms ish.
I've not tried sending

Re: Oled
If your ATU-100 board does not have a programming header, you will have to tack solder connections to traces from the following pins on the micro, to the labeled pins on the

Re: Serial control/monitoring of meters?
Dave, you seam to be ahead of me... I planned to do something similar now when I have a code base compile-able using free tools.
I got the idea to use this piece of software to snoop the display

Re: Serial control/monitoring of meters?
Steve you can use 2 ports for display data transfer and using soft UART library.

Re: Serial control/monitoring of meters?
Sounds great!? There is a gotcha, tho.? If I read the PIC data sheet correctly, the serial i/o goes through two pins that, on the ATU-100, are dedicated to two of the relay drivers.? If that's

Re: Serial control/monitoring of meters?
I'll have to look at that.? I was thinking of doing the exact thing.? I want to have the ATU-100 send its current info (forward, reverse, power, etc.) out over a serial line to a raspberry Pi.?

Thanks, that's pretty much what I want to achieve. Wish it was being done on a Pi.....know nothing about Arduinos.

Florian Thienel has a way to do that.? See https://github.com/ftl/atu100wifi.? He has code for an Arduino Nano that pretends to be the display and sends the info over a serial line.? He then uses

Hi, Charlie.
No, no those futures you need. But you can add them in firmware pretty easy.

Serial control/monitoring of meters?
Would it be possible to monitor the SWR and/or power metering via a serial port , or to control the tuner by a serial port ?? I run my radios all remotely, and with serial control, I could do that on
