And¡­. If it works only sometimes, there is a bad connection somewhere.? Probably either a solder connection of one of the IDC cables.

Which I2C scanner SW do you use?

Unrelated to audio hat, sometimes when I boot up it does not see LPF or BPF address?

All the others are seen. after some fiddling it will work fine.?

I check the Ribbon cable and headers on the filter control board and lpf board and the all look good.?

Not sure if restarting program clears it up or tweaking hardware solves it.?

If the other I2C address are found I am thinking it is not a Teensy issue, does that sound correct?

Re: T41 BPF results

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

You can actually do either, but it will be far easier to stack them one on top of the next.? That¡¯s why it¡¯s written that way in the Assembly manual.? BUT if you can get them side-by-side¡­ that works too.

Justin's manual has a similar table in it, but not the wire lengths. Because the BPF's use the smaller wire, the wire length in Kit and Parts should be very close to what you need. For example, L091 calls for a T37-6 core with 25 turns. From their table:

?

? ??????? T-37 Core???????????? Length

24

2.3??1.7??31.9??242??14.00"

3.0??2.4

2.8??2.3??39.2??301??17.00"

3.3??2.7??20.00"

26

2.7??2.0??37.4??284??15.00"

3.5??2.8

3.3??2.7??46.0??354??18.25"

3.9??3.2??21.50"

?

25 turns on a T-37 core takes 14.5". (Simple average of the turn count.)? I would wind one core and see how that works out for the pigtail leads. Adjust as needed.

Re: T41 BPF results

 

I was just offering to help, if you wanted me to. But, you're right, it would be better for someone with a solid electronics background to do it.

Justin's manual has a similar table in it, but not the wire lengths. Because the BPF's use the smaller wire, the wire length in Kit and Parts should be very close to what you need. For example, L091 calls for a T37-6 core with 25 turns. From their table:

?

? ??????? T-37 Core???????????? Length

24

2.3??1.7??31.9??242??14.00"

3.0??2.4

2.8??2.3??39.2??301??17.00"

3.3??2.7??20.00"

26

2.7??2.0??37.4??284??15.00"

3.5??2.8

3.3??2.7??46.0??354??18.25"

3.9??3.2??21.50"

25 turns on a T-37 core takes 14.5". (Simple average of the turn count.)? I would wind one core and see how that works out for the pigtail leads. Adjust as needed.

V12 Boards

Ver 50.2 SW?

All is working no freeze up or glitches since installing ferrite sleeves on ribbon cable.

However if I install the audio hat it never finishes boot up before program stops with partial screen.

Tried new extender, new audio hat (2) same issue each time.

I reflowed the leads on Teensy female headers (may need to do this again)

I can install Audio hat with a pair of long pin female headers to eliminate and doubt that extender is issue no help.

Could it be SW? I will pull main board and go over all the solder pads to see if that helps.

Other wise all good.

I had 64 beta working at one point but after reloading a second time it hangs up. (I cleared the memory each time)?

Justin's manual has a similar table in it, but not the wire lengths. Because the BPF's use the smaller wire, the wire length in Kit and Parts should be very close to what you need. For example, L091 calls for a T37-6 core with 25 turns. From their table:

?

? ??????? T-37 Core???????????? Length

24

2.3??1.7??31.9??242??14.00"

3.0??2.4

2.8??2.3??39.2??301??17.00"

3.3??2.7??20.00"

26

2.7??2.0??37.4??284??15.00"

3.5??2.8

3.3??2.7??46.0??354??18.25"

3.9??3.2??21.50"

?

25 turns on a T-37 core takes 14.5". (Simple average of the turn count.)? I would wind one core and see how that works out for the pigtail leads. Adjust as needed.

Audio Hat Hangup

 

V12 Boards
Ver 50.2 SW?
All is working no freeze up or glitches since installing ferrite sleeves on ribbon cable.
However if I install the audio hat it never finishes boot up before program stops with partial screen.
Tried new extender, new audio hat (2) same issue each time.
I reflowed the leads on Teensy female headers (may need to do this again)
I can install Audio hat with a pair of long pin female headers to eliminate and doubt that extender is issue no help.
Could it be SW? I will pull main board and go over all the solder pads to see if that helps.
Other wise all good.
I had 64 beta working at one point but after reloading a second time it hangs up. (I cleared the memory each time)?

Not its time to do it for the LPF too¡­ and a section on winding that line section transformer and how to make the Power and SWR measurement work.
