Re: Code Question
David,
Thank you for a very detailed explanation! I have printed this out and
stuck it in the notes portion of the project folder. This is all new to
me. I have printed Eduardo's code out and have

Re: Code Question
A bit more clarification on the values of the divisors:
The top level grid squares are 20 degrees longitude by 10 degrees latitude, so
the 2000000 used as divisor in the MH[0] calculation is

Re: Code Question
I don't know if there's a particular part you're hung up on or not but here goes:
The basic idea is that they're converting lat/lon to grid and subgrid coordinates using integer arithmetic rather

Code Question
I am hoping somebody could explain this piece of code to me. ?I'm just stumped! I understand the basics of converting GPS coordinates to WSPR grid squares, and I can do it by hand with paper, pencil,

Re: ICT WSPR Tracker BOM?
Looks like Eduard is correct. The resonator in my BOM is too small for the footprint. Fortunately that is only $3 worth of parts...
Thanks for pointing it out.

I have built a some smd Steve Weber ATS radios by hand. I made a "doofus"? hihi from a piece of coat hanger wire. It has some fishing weights in the middle and a sharpened end that you use to hold

Re: ICT WSPR Tracker BOM?
The resonator was the one recommended by Mikael at the start of the thread. I have my boards and I'll check the fit when the parts show up this next week.
Nice to see a full BOM, it would have saved

Re: ICT WSPR Tracker BOM?
The resonator should be bigger. Or the PCB footprint smaller. I came up
with the BOM, see below:
Resistors
R1 4k7 0402
R2 4k7 0402
R3 DNP 0402
R4 4k3 0402
R5 100k or 110k 0402
R6 10k

Re: ICT WSPR Tracker BOM?
Good light, good magnification, and no coffee!
I thought the same thing. How much weight is saved by not using something more usable like 0802?
It will be a good challenge though..

Re: ICT WSPR Tracker BOM?
those are some teenie tiny little parts..how do you plan to solder
them? At one time I thought about using a toaster oven, but was warned
that fumes from the solder paste are toxic and possibly

Here is a link to what I found on Digi-key.
No promises, but this is what I am ordering. All of the SMD's , Cells, and CPU's are coming from ebay.

Re: ICT WSPR Tracker BOM?
OH I guess I should add: Is there a particular version of the GPS to use? The schematic specs, max6 and the PDF mentions Max8. Max 8 comes in a bunch of different versions.
