Re: Antuino manual
The Antuino draws 0.080ma at 5v. With a linear regulator to 5v, the regulator is dissipating (12v-5v)*0.080 = 0.560 Watts. Much over 12v going in and the LM78L05 will soon overheat and go into thermal

Re: Antuino manual
https://n2htt.radio/2019/05/26/hello-antuino/ This gent says 9-12VDC, but the voltage regulator data sheet says it will take up to 30VDC.? Take note of the milliAmp rating.? It is low, so I'd stay

Re: max PA PWR voltage ?
Adrien -- I did exactly this with a old 16v laptop brick power adapter. The 16v from the power adapter went direct (well, thru a fuse) to the brown wire, and direct to a? DC-DC down converter making

Re: Antuino manual
A 12v power supply is recommended. It draws about 80 ma of current when in operation. Most of it goes to light up the display. I didn't have any spare pin on the Arduino to turn the power to the

Re: Antuino manual
Raj: Thank you. I did actually resolder both sides, and used a solder sucker to remove the excess. I'll look at it again tommorow. It powered up and worked with a 12 vdc power supply. Chris Shaker

Re: Antuino manual
I am looking forward to receiving my Antuino :) I guess I would power it with rechargeable Eneloop AA batteries. I think that keeping the voltage at 8 or 9vdc would keep it without overheating if used

Re: Antuino manual
Chris, The power connecter leads have to be resoldered on BOTH sides of the PCB. The reason is that PTH has been drilled out wile fitting the socket. Raj

Re: UBitx v5 Not Saving Calibration or BFO adjustments with CEC v 1.20 Nextion
Just replace the Nano and see. While desoldering leave the pins on the Raduino board and remember to order a Nano without soldered pins. Use some help if you are not confident! Raj

Re: Antuino manual
Hi, From the schematic you can see that the power input goes directly, and only, to an lm78l05acz voltage regulator.? The datasheet for that says it will take a maximum input voltage of 35VDC and and
