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
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
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
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.

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

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

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.

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

When you run into an unknown like this, try using Google. I typed in: "green toroid vs black toroid" and found a web page that tells exactly what it means. It turns out that green is usable up to

Forty-9er BCI Filter

You don't need to have it in a tab. Simply make sure the library is installed in the libraries subdirectory where you installed the Arduino IDE. The #include directive at the top of the source code

Dollar to a donut it's a BCI filter. It appears to be between the BNC connector and the antenna jack of the Forty-9er. Also, I have a 50KW AM station just down the road and my Forty-9er picks it up
