The hardware

KIT is delivered with

  • PCB with soldered all SMT parts
  • preinstaled bootloader and simply 'snake' firmware lighting with all nine LED
  • separate THT parts which you install in six steps
  • I2C LCD display with 3D printed plastic holder
  • Aluminium box

  • 1 - status LCD display
  • 2 - 25 pin D-SUB inputs outputs
  • 3 - Ethernet (optional) not implemented yet

Circuits

Based on universal NANO module

KIT assembly instructions

All components

Soldering in six steps

  • 1 - bottom pad J1 USB connector
  • 2 - U5 DIL socket
  • 3 - RL1 Relay
  • 4 - P1 P2 P10 P11 JP1 Pin header
  • 5 - S1 Reset button
  • 6 - J2 D-SUB connector

❏ Short JP5 JP7 SMD jumper padds on bottom side

Display

❏ Deploy from the left side Left LCD holder on PCB board

❏ Put LCD

❏ Deploy Right LCD holder on display and deploy to PCB from front side

❏ Display cabe - on both side using only outside pins

❏ Connect display and PCB board - Red arrow shows polarity

Insert PCB with display to aluminium box and tighten with two screws

❏ I2C display need preset address in firmware

#define LcdI2Caddress  0x3F

❏ Preset LCD contrast with potentiometer on rear side LCD module

Power

❏ Connect power, typicaly 13,8V from transceiver

Configure output driver

We available two types of output drive

Open collector

Using for components with grounding outputs

  • Put in ULN2803A chip to U5 dil socket
  • Set two jumpers in P2 to LEFT side

Open emiter

Using for components controlled with positive voltage

  • Put in MIC2981 chip to U5 dil socket
  • Set two jumpers in P2 to RIGHT side
  • Connect power for output control to pin1 in J2 D-SUB connector| - this voltage use also for powered of band decoder and may be in range 8-24V

Configure outputs in firmware

  • Allways enabled.

An entrance band data, or frequency, converts to output band 0-14 which can be configured in the following table - Preset Band to output matrix - in default settings Band-1 corresponds to Output-1, etc. You can sets any combination outputs for each band separately. With change zeros and ones in the Matrix table. Band-0 reserved for out of range inputs measure.

Not need any hardware settings, only send via USB to serial line ascii characters in preconfigured baudrate.

X,YYYYYYY\n

  • X - band output in range 0-14, if activate BCD output range is 0-10 because 11-14 reserved for BCD. 0 (zero) = no output will be turned on.
  • YYYYYYY - frequency in Hz - has no effect on the output relays, used if any CIV/CAT outputs activated.
  • \n - is LF Line Feed (0A in hex)

CONFIGURE OUTPUTS

You can uncomment more than one output, but not all combinations are worked.

Always usable - may all at once.

Only one from (not available during active Frequency request option (available only one TXD line)

  • Allways enabled.

How to expand outputs

Band decoder use internal shift register with 8 outputs.

This is free expandable. You can connect next shift register to P5 output connector.
