Re: Testing unit idea

 

While working on my other ESP32 project I ran across this article that does a nice job of explaining the ESP32 Dev Board pins and how & which ones to use.? It also explains why the various board are interchangeable if you use the same named pins irrespective of their actual location on the Dev Boards.? There was previous mention of using the exact version and that is not a requirement.

Great work on the kit package with the qr code label.? It looks fantastic.? It looks like the assembly manual on github that the qr code on the kit package links to is the wrong document.? I think you have the instructions for your power delivery module with just a picture of the attenuator board.? To be fair, the board looks easy enough that one can paint by numbers.? I am not going to get to assembling this one for a bit but I'm sure someone will be looking for the instructions soon.

As of close of business today, I’ll have to stop talking board and kit orders for the T41 and associated electronics.? I’m preparing for Hamvention now.? We will have plenty of boards, kits, and books there.? Our booth was moved from Building #4 into Building #2 this AM… now in a very nice spot… #2607. In with many of the international groups ad the ARRL.? Very excited to be there.

?

In any case, if you have orders, please get them in by close of business today.? Otherwise catch us at Hamvention… or wait until the week after Hamvention.

More words…

The resistors do not chance, although you can do that if you originally wind the transformer for 20W and now want to use that same transformer for 100W.? The directions are designed to pick the transformer for what you expect to measure in the final format… so either 20W or 100W by the number of turns.

More boards and kits info...

 

开云体育

For those of you that ordered T41 board sets with the MAIN board in the set (A Full set of V12 boards, or an Upgrade set of $1 V12 boards), You got a pre-programmed ATTiny85 just like usual with the set purchase.? HOWEVER, ?I may have put the part(s) in one of your other packages due to room constraints.? Don’t just throw the packing away without doing an inventory!

?

If you ordered a 20W PA kit… remember to carefully remove the inner package from the pink bubble-wrap envelope… and the CAREFULLY slit the two recipe cards apart at the edge (slit the tape, don’t cut the cards!).? When you open the two cards… the parts are facing each other… and you can cut the cards apart then to keep the part numbers with the parts… easier to ID!.? Do NOT remove the parts from the cards before you are ready to use them… and the do so individually.? The FET and the Transistor look alike!

?

I have only 3 more packages to wrap up and send.? One is a large order in the USA and I’ll get that one done tonight.? One is for an RF board that I promised to mount the PE4302 parts for him (this is NOT a usual service at the moment).? The last one is an invoice I sent out and have not been paid.

?

Please note that I will cease taking orders as of the end of next week to allow time for some traveling and then attending FDIM and Hamvention.?

Update

 

开云体育

Just a note on boards and kits…

?

I’m a little behind on getting the latest round of boards and kits out.? The response in the last few weeks was so overwhelming that I needed to stop shipping on multiple occasions and put together more kits.? Just yesterday I put together another 25 20W PA kits that took me the majority of the day.? Most of the orders that did not include the PA kit have been shipped and you should be able to track it with the number that got sent to you.? Those orders with the 20W PA I’m working on today and I should have them all sent.? I have two larger orders… one for over-seas and one USA that I will need to get boxes from the postal service to ship.? That will happen Monday.? My goal is to get everything out the door by Monday.

?

I’m also gearing up for FDIM and Hamvention so I’ll see a lot of you there… we are inside this year… Building#4 (where you drop off your ticket stubs for the prizes) in spot #4111.?? More on this later and what I will be bringing.? I’ve talked to Al and he will be at our booth on a couple of days with a T41 operating and able to sign books and answer questions.
