Re: Display question?

 

Are the JackAl docs different than the BuyDisplay docs? Try to get a close up of the connector edge and post that.

Re: Mounting teensy and audio board Jackal Board

 

I think that I will just wait until Jack and Al have updated their documentation and Jack has finished examining his V5 board.? All may be revealed.

The coils are pulled and replaced by 680 nH SMD inductors:


I have parts coming in Friday (I hope).

After looking at the spec sheet, they, (5003), appears to be a suitable, (maybe superior?). replacement for the 5403 which is a 400 mw coil, not as I said before 200.
Little bit higher coil resistance, same operating voltage, and they're only used for bandswitching.
I'll let you know how they work.

Difference is in the coil sensitivity 150 mw instead of 200.

I saw an ad by them for $8.60/4, but that was for the Axiom V23105-A5003-A201, not the Axiom V23105-A5403-A201. Does it make a difference??

Arrow Electronics carries them at $2.20, 10 for $2.10, or 35 at $1.96. Everyone probably knows they don't charge for shipping, so order a bunch and sell them to club members.

Re: Mounting teensy and audio board Jackal Board

 

I now think that if there is any likelihood of wanting to access other pins on the Teensy, we should probably follow the instructions of James Zdunic , KM4TXR, /g/JackAl/attachment/475/1/CPU%20PINS%20_2_.pdf. I now have the bits and pieces, but am a bit scared that I might make an expensive mistake!
