Re: Programming the Atmega238P
Phil, As has been suggested there are a ton of youtube videos and other web pages telling you how to program an AVR (the ATMega328P computer chip sold by Atmel/MicroChip used on Arduino boards) . This

Re: QCX PC board spots and mini holes
I think those are probably stitching via's / ground plane stitches, I suspect you'll see that there's a ground plane fill on the other side right under them too, and these 'stitch' the two sides

Re: Battery power for the QDX? #power
The?BA00JC5WT is variable..? (full disclosure I know just enough to be dangerous) if I read this data sheet correctly a veriable resister(s) could be used at pin 4 and 5? I would love to learn more

Re: QDX
Jason, depends where you live on this planet ? You did not reveal that. 2.1 x 5.5? or sometimes '5.5x2.1' is a de facto standard, zillions are around ;-) Either you grab 'any' cheap power supply with

Re: removing SM ICs
Hans, Yes, I guess that most start like I did. Driven to the point that a piece of gear was simply scrap unless something was attempted I looked at various descriptions of how SMD work can be done

Re: QDX Build Videos Thread
Here's where I'm at with it as of midnight on 10/30. Having the inductors pre-wound sure was handy! The next things will be installing the LED, connectors, the electrolytic to stabilize the 5v voltage

Re: removing SM ICs
Hi Fred I'm sure you are right and that I should get proper SMD tools. My point was... Lack of the ideal tool doesn't have to mean you can't do something. I have a long and questionable history of

Re: New QDX complete - no work.
Note also that QDX must have a working 25MHz clock (the TCXO module). If this is not the case then the microcontroller chip would use its own internal 8MHz oscillator. The microcontroller would

Re: How does PTT work in QCX mini?
Hi Mike This is not a change with QCX-mini Rev 3. All QCX-mini PCB revisions have the same PTT output jack connections with the positive-going PTT signal on the "ring". This is the same as on the 50W

Re: New QDX complete - no work.
The QDX is a composite USB device that contains two USB devices: a USB serial virtual port for CAT control, and an audio interface for the digital mode data. All of those should appear in their

Re: QDX
My QDX arrived today and I've started the build! Anyone have a recommendation on where to source a barrel DC power connector (2.1 x 5.5)? I made a bad assumption that the kit came with one and now I

Re: New QDX complete - no work.
Tony Do you see it in Device Manager? My QLG2 shows as COM 12 "USB Serial Device" it is the same processor as the QDX so should be the same. See screenshot. Windows should install the driver. Try all

Re: New QDX complete - no work.
If you go into device manager, what do you see for the driverless devices? The fact that it showed up at all means that USB was talking on the unit. Maybe not correctly but not dead. But I expect that

New QDX complete - no work.
Lest anyone misunderstand, "no work" does not imply that there was no effort to construct this little jewel.? And it surely is cute, what with its little LED and all!? Got the package on the 29th
