Re: Is Ver 5 the same physical dimensions and layout?

Mike,

Should have mentioned that if the Nano is not socketed in your existing Raduino you will need to change the whole Raduino.

Mike,

With the V5 board change the Nano to the one that came with your new V5 board and you should be good to go.

Raj,
Thank you for the info. Is there a pdf of wave forms expected at the TP's? Thank you for any assistance.

Farhan,

Under "Binaural beats" on the left pane, we can generate dual tones.

Once you connect your pc to ubitx, measure the audio at mic input to be 50 mv peak(100 mv peak to peak). Then you can repeat the tests.

The push button does work, but can not change function options after that. It leaves the version up there, not sure if it suppose to or not.

Re: separate CAT jack, without using the USB cable #ubitx #cat #raduino #arduino

 

Sorry all, I hit send when I meant to delete what I had partially written yesterday evening.
Not a completed thought, and I didn't think my comments would really be of much help.

But since I did send:
With the specified switch point of Nano's input buffer at 60% of Vcc,and assuming Nano running at 5V,? the Teensy and Nano aren't compatible by min spec.
With a capacitive load, the Teensy should drive to 3.3V rail.

Sascha, I think you are on the right path. Also consider switching speed / baud rate.

Again my apologies,?
Gary


Re: separate CAT jack, without using the USB cable #ubitx #cat #raduino #arduino

 

There's a 1k series resistor in the RX and TX lines? Is this what you mean by "in"?? That would slow the slew rate of the signal.
A 1K pull-up to 5V, shouldn't be a problem.

The K20 on Teensy 3.2 is 5V tolerant on digital I/Os. You can drive the inputs to the Teensy 3.2 to 5V without an issue.
The Teensy runs 3.3V Externally. (internally it's nominally 1.0V, but that's not the issue)?
At 3.3V the K20 VOH min is? 3.3V -0.5V = 2.8V @ -9mA of drive.
This should work fine with standard 5V TTL levels, (VIH 2V), BUT the Nano/ATmega is not TTL.? VIH is speced at 0.6Vcc? for Vcc 2.4-5.5V.


Re: Nano Problem????

Mark McNabb
 

Hi,

From what I read, I don't think it would be easy to simulate the encoder with a wire.? It needs timed make-break between the two internal switches.

Anyway, does the encoder press button work to get menus?? Does the encoder then work to change function options?

Do all the nano versions leave the version number up on the screen like that?? Mine disappears after startup.

73,


Mark.


Re: Full throttle SSB distortion on 15 and 10m

 

Oos so ever it is,

I suspect instability caused by your output wires. Shorten them to minimum or wire a coax to the board.

Re: Nano Problem????

 

This was a Factory nano from hfsignals. I removed everything I did during build up, plus removed it from ubitx board, same problem.?


Re: Nano Problem????

 

Yes I remember this. Look carefully to see if you may have misinstalled the connectot. Mine had an extra plastic only pin, and is easy to misalign. Or missed solder somewhere.

Nano Problem????

 

I fired up my ubitx V4 for the first time. When you turn the encoder, the frequency only changes by .050 the goes right back. I removed the encoder and used a jumper wire to try to simulate a encoder. Same problem. Then I removed Raduino, screen, and nano from the ubitx board. I supplied it with 12 volts and installed a 4.7 resistor on cw wires. I used a jumper wire again to simulate a encoder, same problem. Should I try to reload the nano, or do yall think the nano is bad??

More audio more power but there is a point of distortion as the power amp cannot do it.
