Audio Hat Hangup

Tim All Messages By This Member #32768 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)? Tim W4YN? ?
K9HZ All Messages By This Member #32771 开云体育 First things first.? If you load the I2C scanner software, does the audio hat respond at address 0x0A on WIRE like it should…? ?If not, concentrate your resoldering efforts around Pins 18 and 19… ? ? Dr. William J.

Tim All Messages By This Member #32779 Dr. Bill 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? Tim? ?

K9HZ All Messages By This Member #32782 开云体育 And…. If it works only sometimes, there is a bad connection somewhere.? Probably either a solder connection of one of the IDC cables. ?

Tim All Messages By This Member #32786 Yes I hold button until it goes into slow flash mode as per Teensy site suggestion. Tnx for help, I am busy winding coils so it is not an issue at moment. RX is fine without audio hat installed. Tried 2 different hats. Tim?

jerry-KF6VB All Messages By This Member #32788 I would carefully check all the soldering at the Teensy and the audio hat and the offset board - I found a few Teensy pins that I hadn't actually soldered. - Jerry
Tim All Messages By This Member #32789 Been thru that once Jerry need to reflow again, it is definitely one of the Teensy pins. Update, I was able to get 64 beta to load and recognize all the I2C addresses including Audio Hat, and auto rx calibrate works, freq cal hangs up though and no decoding of SSB or CW. 50.2 will just not run with audio hat installed :(?

Rick Price All Messages By This Member #32790 开云体育 I actually had to ditch the extension board.? After several intermittent software issues I discovered that by pushing down on the teensy and restarting it would work normally for a while only to happen again. This was after resoldering and checking all pins on both the extension board and the Teensy.??I came to the conclusion that there were at least a couple of socket pins not making consistent good contact.? Because of my frustration I finally removed the extension board and cut a notch in the one heat sink that was interfering with the audio hat.? Since doing that I have not had another instance of software intermittently working. I guess putting the regulators on the other side of the board and not modifying the heat sink would have accomplished the same thing.??

Tim All Messages By This Member #32792 Rick? Same here? I did eliminate the extender and just used long pin female headers to get hat above heat sink. I have to play with reseating Teensy to get I2C to work properly. Once tweaked it seems fine. I wonder if the Chinese headers are issue, I see the pins are not as precise as US made, could be female sockets also. I was tool and die maker and worked a while making connector molds and pin stamping dies, they had extremely tight tolerances like .0001" or less. Tim?

I am going to flat out lie and say I've never missed a pin or soldered it incorrectly.? ? I have half a thought that hopefully someone can either finish or explain why it wouldn't help.? I'm trying to think of the easiest way to check the connection of the pins.? I've been lucky so far but I'm sure I'll run into self created issues eventually.? Almost every pin on the teensy is PWM capable.? Does it make sense at all to write a sketch with a tone() function for every PWM pin (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 33, 36, 37, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 51, 54) then stick the teensy on a breadboard and connect a speaker it to each pin one at a time until you find the one(s) that stays quiet or something similar with an led?? I'm mostly figuring this out as I go so I may be way off base here.
Tim All Messages By This Member #32796 Tried 2 new Audio Hats no luck :( Tim
Tim All Messages By This Member #32801 No cables attached except for Ribbon cables and rf coax. Nothing attached to Audio Hat. I think I will start on new Main board (don't believe I could get hearers off even with my vacuum sucker) and use machine pin headers. I used those on critical projects that needed IC's replaced often. ? Tim W4YN ?
