is there a step by step guide to raduino programming anywhere
|
As a complete novice at Arduino / Raduino programming I need some assistance in getting started with reprogramming my Raduino to cover 80 meters rather than 40 meters. I have downloaded the Arduino IDE and have got a couple of Arduino clones to play with. I have managed to get the various blinking led exercises to work ok and have a basic understanding of programming. What I need is a step by step guide to be able to upload a new sketch to the raduino where the only thing that has been changed is the frequency range. I believe that I need to have the Si5351 library installed in the IDE and that the version of the library needs to be v1.1.? rather than the v2.? that is current now. (not sure how this is done, but should be able to work it out)? I have copies of the sketch for the raduino from Ashaar's guithub page etc. Any guidance greatly appreciated.

This is totally biased, but you might find the Beginning C for Arduino, 2nd Ed. useful. Go to Amazon and search that title then click on the cover and read the Table of Contents. Then go to the reviews and read those. There are more reviews on the 1st edition, but the second edition is a better book.

Mike, Check out this title in the YouTube cut and paste This Prelude to the Arduino Course for Absolute Beginners by:? I used it to get going on Arduino and its free.? Like 12 + videos. great way he has to present this.? I kept a note book handy. You can send the videos to your email or copy to a thumb drive.? On the side panel you'll see other videos by him or go to his web site.? Along the way you'll see other tutorials?by different people.? Sometimes it's good to view different presentations on one particular thing. ? I stuck it out all the way through with the above for consistency. Later and good luck, Larry WA9DOH On Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 9:26 PM, vk3xl via Groups.Io <vk3xl@...> wrote:

donate. There code takes away a lot of the more difficult items of learning C++.? You get to actually make something work, rather than fighting with code syntax.?? Some of us don't want to fight learning how a compiler works, or if a variable is a constant or public? And, if you want you can continue to become a C++ programmer if
you want!? I think they have come up with a real useful solution. I just can't believe how neat and affordable this stuff is! Mike, WA6ISP On 3/15/2017 6:03 PM, Larry Smith

Thanks to all who have offered resources for learning arduino, it is all helpful. My question was more specifically what I need to do to upload a new sketch to the raduino. The reason I asked this is that there are a number of posts where people have attempted to do just that and they get multiple error messages. If there was a step by step guide then many of these errors may be avoided.? So is there anyone that has successfully uploaded a new sketch to their raduino and if so what are the important bits to make sure you have setup prior to uploading the sketch. |

I just uploaded an Appendix from another project that shows how to download and install the Arduino IDE. It then shows how to load the Blink program sketch into the Arduino (or Raduino) and run it as a test to make sure the install was successful. The name of the file is:?ArduinoIDEInstallationDirections.doc Jack, W8TEE From: vk3xl via Groups.Io <vk3xl@...> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2017 10:30 PM Subject: Re: [BITX20] is there a step by step guide to raduino programming anywhere Thanks to all who have offered resources for learning arduino, it is all helpful.

Usually, the issue is installing the new libraries. They need to be installed in the libraries subfolder and the directory name used must be the same as the *.h header file name (e.g., si5351.h must be in the subfolder named si5351). Also, some users may have to install the I/O drivers that are found in the drivers subdirectory of the IDE install location.

I can do that now, but still the raduino sketch upload errors are an issue that many are experiencing. -- Mike VK3XL |

Thanks Jack, I have downloaded the etherkit si5351 v1.1.2 as per Ashaar's post on the subject as I believe the v2.0 does not work with the raduino sketch. I will check the directories are named correctly and see how I go tonight when I get home. Are the I/O drivers just to communicate with the arduino or are they something to do with the si5351 chip? |

Jack, thank you very much for the document and all the effort you put forth here and the other forums! Roy WA0YMH On Mar 15, 2017 9:48 PM, "Jack Purdum via Groups.Io" <econjack=[email protected]> wrote:
