Re: 49er Inductor windings
I have a red and a gray toroid. Clearly not black so I'll treat the gray one as black.. Biggest problem I have is that my DDS-VFO kit arrived missing parts.. Sent an email this morning to Farrukh

Re: Increment Problems
Gentlemen, I have eliminated everything except for a code issue. If any of you: 1. Built a DDS VFO using the QST article instructions and 2. Downloaded the rotary files from Brian Lows github, and 3.

My 49er kit came with 5 band color code resistors
Hi! My kit came with 5 band color code resistors versus the ones referenced in the instructions which are 4 band color code resistors. I thought this may help somebody save some time deciphering the

Capacitor for the LC Circuit is a 56pF
Hi! Regarding the LC Circuit that goes on Y1. The QST in depth document calls out Cx as a 150pF and the instruction manual from Farrukh's link calls out a 56pF. I was clarified by Jack that the

WA4GLI, I didn¡¯t have any issue and my library shows Rotary with the ¡®h¡¯ extension, as it should. I suspect you somehow got a corrupted download. Included is the listing for Rotary.h /* * Rotary

Re: Increment Problems
WA4GLI, You might also try enabling the Vcc line to your encoder. According to the library internal pull-ups are inlace but I had a similar problem and that cured my issue.

Re: Increment Problems
Dennis, Does your encoder have a small printed circuit board like this? These are the common KY-040 encoder. You may also have the encoder without the pcb. If you have this type, run a line from 5 Vdc

Re: Increment Problems
No. All he's saying is that you need to run a line from 5V to the '+' on the encoder. You can take the 5V from any of pins 7, 8, 9, 10 on J1. Jack To: "SoftwareControlledHamRadio@..."

Re: Increment Problems
In case I did not mention it earlier, I tested the sw circuit with a DMM and pressing the switch sends D4 on the Nano to ground. Tomorrow, I am going to test the pulses with an oscilloscope. Dennis

Re: Increment Problems [1 Attachment]
Dennis, Well I¡¯m stumped then. Bye the way, I hooked up a bare encoder without the external pull-up resistors (that is what is on the pcb) and it worked fine. Can you load the example called

Re: Increment Problems
FWIW: you shouldn't use a Serial.print() call in an ISR, since that method uses interrupts itself. Something is definitely out of whack here, since there are over a hundred of these boards out there

Re: Increment Problems
Jack, I agree about your conclusion - I¡¯m guessing bad connection or solder joint on the DDS VFO board. Just wanted to test the encoder separate from the DDS VFO to confirm it is okay and then point
