Re: Source of LDR required.

Re: 10 turn pot $1 to way too much
I had mine from Conrad, price was about 10 euro at the time. Yes it's more expensive but i.m.o. it's definitely worth the money. Try a Mexican first and then a Vishay and you'll understand. Try

Re: 10 turn pot $1 to way too much
I first had a cheap BOURNS pot, it worked OK but requires more "torque" to spin the shaft. Then I switched to a wirewound VISHAY pot, it's more expensive but it's definitely worth the money! The

Re: Source of LDR required.
In trying to figure out what you guys were referring to I did some digging and the one thing I did find was a blog post saying that a 40k-400k LDR that he had on hand didn't work. But one that went

Re: Source of LDR required.
Also note that Peter encased the LED and LDR in electrical tape before he actually used it. I think shrink tubing would also work. I, too, believe any LDR would work. Jack, W8TEE To: [email protected]

Re: doTuning() mod, utility, vanity
All: In Allard's defense, it's even worse than he's letting on. Using 87% of the Flash memory is running on the edge, but is probably okay. The really scary statistic is the 74% on the SRAM memory.

Re: Source of LDR required.

Re: W8TEE TFT/VFO Board from FDIM talk
The parts list document suggests where to get parts for the TFT board. The place where you can save some noticeable cash is on the Mega 2560 Pro Mini, the AD9850 module, the TFT display, and the KY040

Paul, your idea is a "nice-to-have" one, but unfortunately we're running out of memory: original sketch v1.13: Sketch uses 26886 bytes (87%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes. Global
