Tiny Trak 2 info


 

Hello,
I have a what I think is a Tiny Track 2 but the chip is a
16F628-20/P but it is not the tiny track three board.
Was this chip used on the Tiny Trak 2?
Thanks de Mike N8FWD

Post a picture and we can help match it to a product.

TT2's and original TT3's used the 16F628 PIC. I could be wrong, but as far as I know, these were always the 18 pin version. There were and are, a number of TT2 "clones" out there because the TT2 was open-source. It can be configured with the current Byonics Configuration utility program. It would not be a terrible surprise if some of the clones used the 20 pin variant.?

You can barely see N6BG beside the connector on the board. and the board looks the same as The Tiny Track 2.

I think they all sent some information out the serial interface at startup - maybe some firmware info.

Try connecting it to a terminal program like TeraTerm or PuTTY.
I suggest starting at 9600 baud in the terminal program and cycle power on the unit.??
If nothing or unreadable go up to 19200, then down to 4800, 2400, 1200.? I doubt it would go less than 1200
