Serial Data issue on PIC METERTX METERRX
|
Hello,
For years I have been using a software program called LDG Tuner Control, to interface my AT-1000ProII Autotuner () with my PC by using the meter jack at the back of the tuner, but I lost the capability recently either due to a software or hardware failure. At first I changed my USB to serial interface used to control the tuner. Then verified the computer sends the commands to the tuner using a serial sniffer, but noticed the tuner does not respond.
?
The tuner works just fine otherwise, it just does not give a power readout and the ability to remote control it.
?
?
Looking at the schematic, the METERTX and METERRX lines used for communication between the PC and the tuner, go to the PIC? directly (photo attached).
Is it possible that by chance, those pins got fried, without the rest of the chip being affected?
If so is it possible to burn a new PIC to test it out? My label says ver1.7? I have seen a hex dump available in the file section named at1000pro2520_112312.hex?? Does that work for my version? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

LDG is very good about replacement parts. If parts are available you likely need just to ask LDG and they will send it out to you. If you do get a replacement, I’d suggest a couple of 5V, unipolar TVS diodes to GND on the serial lines. On Fri, Mar 21, 2025 at 23:29 Relu Jianu via <rjianu=[email protected]> wrote:
