Re: "More than one XXX library found" error message

Thanks for the information Jack I really appreciate your help....Dale

The "more than one LCD library found" is because there are multiple libraries named "LiquidCrystal" out there and your directory might have several installed.

The solution:

1) Find where your IDE is installed. Mine is installed on E:\Arduino1.8.5. Yours will likely be on the C drive, perhaps in the Programs directory. It all depends on where/how you installed it.

2) Inside your IDE directory will be a subdirectory named libraries. Inside that subdirectory should only ONE LiquidCrystal library, so on my system I see something
? ? like this:

??? E:\Arduino1.8.5\libraries\LiquidCrystal?????????? // You will likely see a bunch of libraries before and after this one...

??? If you see mutliple libraries, you need to delete one of them. But, which one?

In my BITX code, I use a TFT display, so instead of the LiquidCrystal library, I use:

??? #include <MCUFRIEND_kbv.h>??? //

Anytime I use a library that is not included in the standard IDE installation, I have a comment that tells you were to go to download that library (yellow above). I'm not sure which software you are trying to install, but look at the line that includes the LiquidCrystal library (e.g., #include <LiquidCrystal>) and see if the programmer left you a URL for the library. Rename the original LiquidCrystal library directory (e.g., OriginalLiquidCrystal) before you install the new library just in case you need to go back to the original setup if it doesn't work.

This one is for Jack Purdum about the software loading. First I want to thank Jack for his wonderful contribution to our group. My problem is this. when I perform the compile on a known working program I get all these error messages such as: more than one LCD library found, unable to to download and a list of attempts to download. I have your book and sorry to say I haven't had much chance to really dig in and try to learn from it but I don't see anything that assists in troubleshooting the error codes and making the necessary changes to correct them. Jack can you or any one else assist me in finding information on how to troubleshoot and repair the compiler errors so I can reliable load my programs. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Close to that easy. It boils down to downloading the free Arduino IDE, loading in the source code files, compiling and uploading the code to the Raduino. Most of this process has been described elsewhere and is the subject of the second half of Chapter 1 of my programming book (Beginning C for Arduino). I have attached the draft copy of that chapter from the 1st Edition of the book.

Like most I have few concerns about the radio being 'perfect' in every sense and I can fudge my way around circuit mods without too much hassle and enjoy it at the same time. That's what this hobby is all about.? While I knew from the outset that a software upgrade was necessary I am wondering how easy it will be for me (a total code dummy) to upload new sketches. There are likely already guidelines posted somewhere that I haven't come across. Is it as easy as plugging in a USB cable and a few commands on my PC ?

Tuner Kit Progress

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

So for all the folks that sent me emails about the cheap auto tuner kit... i made some progress this week. ?The cores came in and i would a staggered set that total 20 uh. ?All checked out and tested. ?Very simple to wind. I decided not to use chip capacitors. ?They are expensive in the size needed to carry the current needed at large values. Silver mica capacitors are cheaper and easier for most people (like me with marginal eyes) to solder to boards. ?Plus the space savings is almost nil. I also found some cheap latching relays so the current draw stays low and the price of the kit stays in the sweet spot. ?This week ill design the discriminator (phase and magnitude) for power reading and tuning. ? More next weekend.?

Re: Tuning reversed issue

 

After Ron helped me get over the "stupids" and I finally learned how to properly compile & upload stuff to the Raduino, I now have Ron's mods running and he's fixed a lot of little annoying things (annoying to me anyway).? In between bricking & fixing the rig (all firmware, no hardware) I managed to make a couple of real nice 20 meter SSB QSO's and also a couple of 40 meter CW QSO's as well with it.

I heard a lot of RTTY (contest this weekend) and sure wish there were at least 5 more digital pins on the Nano.? Then it would really easy to implement a good CW Keyer and even implement true FSK for RTTY.? You'd still need a computer with sound card running something like Mako Mori's (JE1HHT) MMTTY program, but that would really work well.? Hardware FSK would be much cleaner to implement than tones into the SSB section.? As wide as the filter is, I'd be wary of the 2nd and maybe even 3rd harmonics of the tones being transmitted at the same time as the fundamentals.? That would really create havoc on the bands especially during a RTTY contest, not to mention incur the wrath of the FCC as well.

Re: uBITX for sale

 

Sorry Bob,
I already sent him the money - I usually don't get that lucky, but I was in my email client when Fred's message hit and it was too good to pass up.? I do have one coming in the 2nd batch from HF Signals but no clue when that will ship - LOL.?? This way I'll have the backup in case I brick the first one - (I did brick it learning how to compile and upload firmware to it today, but thanks to some nice off line help I have that sorted out now and I'm back up to normal.

Re: BITX40 Display problem

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

The backlight resistors are not usually that high in value??

Unhook all 12V power and run Raduino off of computer USB, adjust contrast pot to see if any thing shows.

It always is almost full up, near the end of the pot.? Too much you will see some background around digits.

The contrast might need to be re adjusted when you get back on Raduino 5V Regulator.

If you are sure all of the pins are correctly seated from the Raduino to the uBITX RF board, then check the Contrast adjustment on the rear of the Raduino.

I'm going to try a different series resistor for the Display back-light as now it is bright enough to read a book by.? hi hi
I think the default resistor is 110 Ohms and it is reported that 470 Ohms might be a better value to reduce the brightness.
Then Contrast will likely need readjustment.

I did research on FT8 a few days ago, but I was quite nervous about using DSP. Decoding is almost impossible in Arduino.

Nice! Is this a beacon, or did you get software decoding as well?

I have built WSPR in uBITX. It was only possible with software without any hardware modifications.
Added another library to control the si5351, which resulted in a increase in program memory.
It seems that adding a WSPR function after creating a new si5351 control source will also be possible with a small size.



The receiving test used an FT-817 device and wsjtx.

The video is below.


The details and details of implementation are listed below.


The program size is too large to be included in this program distribution, and the si5351 control code will be directly modified and included next.
