Re: SMD Stencil/Reflow solution?
I have the FNIRSI tweezers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBQ4SQGK Pretty good!? Nice to have on the bench during assembly to double-check things. -- 73 Greg KF5N

Sorry, missed your comment... from the usermanual in the Amazon link. They are what they are, but for a ball park figure, perfect. I'm tempted to makeup a lead so I can use the tweezers with my rather

Re: TFT_eSPI Library with STM32F4x1 (STM32F401 or STM32F411) boards i.e Blackpill boards and TFT ILI9341 displays

The two boards have a different clock speed (84 vs 72MHz).? It appears the spi frequency for the board can't be set to the 36MHz as is being done at the bottom of Setup32_ILI9341_STM32F103.h. Try

Re: T41 receive attenuator working?
That was it!!!! Wrong address. Now all three boards work with varying receiver attenuation. Now I'm on to calibration. Thank you all for your help. dave, n3ds [email protected]> wrote:

Re: T41 receive attenuator working?
The primary RF board (that is the Primary RX and TX) should be set to 0x27 which means that the three address lines A0, A1, and A2 should be set to ¡°111¡± or no shorted jumpers (J15, J16, J17). Dr.

Re: T41 receive attenuator working?
Bill's right: you do not have the correct address for the MCP23017 chip. The I2C address is set by JP15, JP16 and JP17. The command "#define RF_MCP23017_ADDR" sets the address that the code looks for

Re: T41 receive attenuator working?
You can scope the control wires going to the attenuators. They're just DC levels. For the receive attenuator, the signals are U21 pin 21 ( .5dB ) through U21 pin 26. High = near 3.3V, Low = near 0V. -

I wonder if my problem with the attenuator is related to software. All 3 of my boards behave the same. They receive well, but the levels never change when I adjust the receive attenuator. Maybe I have
