Re: ATU 1000 Newbie questions
Hi, Geoff
Looks like the MCU FW is protected to be read. You have to erase it and configure simple ATU100 FW before upload it .
It has a price, but it is bigger OLED you can use

Re: Test framework for ATU-10 code
I think I've discovered a tuning bug. For some of my test points, a relay_set of -128 will occur. During the fine tuning, a char overflows at the start of a for loop in the code below.
My current

Re: Hardware / software wish list
I've used 74HC595 for LED displays (driving ULN2003s).? I've wondered about these, and given the low switching frequency, it's an option.
By moving the pins around (and using the MCLR for the tune

Frequency status:
I've looked at a few RF frequency detector designs, and have worked out a prototype (aka Mark I).
It uses a 74AHC14 Schmitt trigger inverter (good to 125MHz) on the front end with a

Re: Hardware / software wish list
on your point four Roger, how about a couple of I2C parallel ports or shift registers on the RF deck to drive the relays, a significant reduction is connections between boards...

Re: Hardware / software wish list
1) Moving the code to the RP2040 from the Raspberry Pi foundation. This would make it easy to add a WiFi interface for remote control and display. The RP2040 is not very expensive, $4 without and $6

Re: Hardware / software wish list
Hi Roger,
I think all of the additional features and suggestions from others are perfectly valid.
From an operational side of things, the ATU-10 features such as latching relays and updating via USB

Re: Hardware / software wish list
During the full capacitor and inductor searching, the current code uses straight binary values (with a change in step for the higher values).
So the smallest capacitor relay does a lot of

Re: Hardware / software wish list
Starting from scratch would have been a lot of work, but adding frequency measurement doesn't look too bad, and the rest if software!

I also can't figure how Gray codes would be used. That's quite a bit of work you've outlined Roger!!!!
I'll add the things I've been thinking about.

Re: Test framework for ATU-10 code
Finished the test code and checked it in at https://github.com/tomcourt/tunetest
I'd tried to port it to Visual Studio, no complex data time so I tried to roll my own. Way too slow. So I ported it to

Re: Hardware / software wish list
I have researched about Gray code, looks like it is impossible to use in tuners, because 0 and 1 both have value depending on position.

Re: ATU1000 PROBLEM
I can't help you with the repair.
But I was wondering where you purchased the unit.? Did you buy the kit, or a complete unit somewhere else.

Just want to make sure, that I interpret your changes correctly:
