|
your mcHF has.
|
|
- the TUNE mode is now able to generate a two tone signal to better calibrate your mcHF
|
|
(PA Adjustment Menu).

|
|
signal in the mcHF which goes away after rebooting, you now can try to restart the I2S
|
|
stream by tapping on the DSP box (if you have touch enabled) or by going into the Standard
|
|
Menu and selecting "Restart I2S". No need to reboot.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
20160103 [DF8OE]
|
|
- first release which supports future expansion pcbs for adding
|
|
1) RX 12KHz...80MHz, TX 160m, 6m and 4m
|
|
2) RX 80MHz...2000MHz, TX 2m, 70cm and 23cm
|
|
160m TX and RX is rudimentary supported without expansion board.
|
|
Filters for 80m are used. It works (not perfect at all) and you have
|
|
some small gaps at 160m where LO does not work. But a nice preview at all...
|
|
Of course will work much better with fitted expansion pcb ( I hope it will
|
|
be finished in the first 6 months of 2016)!!!
|
|
You can ge a preview how it looks if mcHF selects new bands if you touch
|
|
":" on touchscreen in menu #199 at recent lines (touching toggles pcb present
|
|
or not "hard-coded"). Of course frequency display is RED on any band < 160m or
|
|
> 10m because LO does not work out-of-the-box without needed expansion board(s)...
|
|
|
|
################## IMPORTANT INFORMATION ##################
|
|
Because of EEPROM addressing for band specific storage *must* be continuously
|
|
EEPROM structure (regardless virtual/serial) is broken with the adding of new
|
|
bands!!! If you take this version YOUR CONFIGURATON SETTINGS WILL BE LOST!!!
|
|
Please write down your actual configuration settings.
|
|
|
|
If this is the first firmware you install you have to do nothing special - only
|
|
upgrading from older versions are affected.
|
|
|
|
At first start after upgrading from older firmware version than
|
|
0.219.26.15 you must first reset all settings to default by press & hold
|
|
MENU-SPLIT-TUNE simultaneously while powering up and release after warning
|
|
screen appears. Then power down via power button After startup enter all
|
|
configuration data you wrote down.
|
|
|
|
Good news at all:
|
|
If you take this new version and somedays pcbs are available there is no more
|
|
changing in EEPROM structure. Storage is organized for all possible new
|
|
bands regardless if they are active or not. This only consumpts ~40 Bytes of
|
|
virtual/serial EEPROM space and does not affect anything else.

|
|
|
20160102 [DF8OE]
|
|
- added autodetection of 7ppm SI570 devices using regs 13+
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151217 [DF8OE]
|
|
- added "working" state display for #341
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151215 [DF8OE]
|
|
- improved data accquisition of touchscreen, now hopefully more accurate
|
|
- solved "2.3khz filter issue"
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151214 [DF8OE]
|
|
- added "power off without saving settings" by pushing BAND+ and POWER simultanusly
|
|
- added possibility of power-off and reboot in button test mode
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151214 [DF8OE]
|
|
- added touchscreen support. You have to do the following modifications:
|
|
|
|
if LCD is in parallel mode:
|
|
remove R30, R31, R32
|
|
put connections between:
|
|
R30/R33 (PC2) to TP_SDO of LCD
|
|
R31/R34 (PC3) to TP_SDI of LCD
|
|
R32/R35 (PB13) to TP_SCK of LCD
|
|
Header Pin7 (PA4) to TP_IRQ of LCD
|
|
P8 Pin1 (PA9) to TP_CS of LCD
|
|
|
|
if LCD is in SPI mode:
|
|
same as above, but do not remove R30, R31, R32 (or wires if you use HY28B in SPI mode)
|
|
|
|
You can see signal names on back side of LCD. If you have soldered and cannot remove,
|
|
ask google for a picture of backside of HY28B - there are many.
|
|
|
|
With this mod you loose DAC which was former used for rf attenuator. This signal is
|
|
unused now and I supose it never will be used in future. Intermodulation while receiving
|
|
very strong signals can be removed by modifying rf preamp for better IP3.
|
|
|
|
After modifying and applying firmware newer/equal 0.219.26.13 in hardware menu #199
|
|
touchscreen is listed. When you enter BUTTON TEST MODE coordinates are shown if
|
|
you touch LCD screen. If this test is successful, you can use touchfunctions.
|
|
|
|
At the moment the following functions are supported:
|
|
- tapping right hand waterfall/scope bar: toggling wf/scope
|
|
- tapping left hand waterfall/scope bar: toggling wf/scope magnifying x 2
|
|
- tapping at a frequency/peak shown in wf/spectrum (lower part of the wf/scope) will tune to the tapped frequency
|
|
|
|
In future much more touch-functions will be added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151206 [DF8OE]
|
|
- added adjustment menu item #341 "Reset Ser EEPROM" to clean up misidentified EEPROM
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151206 [DF8OE]
|
|
- added menu item #197 "Backup Config to virtual EEPROM"
|
|
- added menu item #198 "Restore backup config to serial EEPROM"
|
|
Both items are only available i serial EEPROM is fitted. Now you can restore to
|
|
"working coniguration" if you have destroyed the acive one insteade of only
|
|
loading default values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151201 [DF8OE]
|
|
- added support for 24LC512 (64kb), 24LC1026 (128kb) and AT24CM02 (256kb). All these
|
|
can be be fitted to board without any additional changings (no wire between pin8 and
|
|
pin3 needed). Only if 24LC1025 is used this wire must be added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151130 [DF8OE]
|
|
- added detection of unsopported EEPROMs
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151126 [DF8OE]
|
|
- completed serial EEPROM support of 24LC1025
|
|
You have to add connection between pin8 and pin3 of 24LC1025
|
|
!!! 24LC01/02/04 are too small and config data cannot fit so that they are UNSUPPORTED !!!
|
|
At first start with fitted serial EEPROM and this (or newer) firmware serial EEPROM is
|
|
autodetected and then (if memory is big enough) virtual EEPROM is copied to serial
|
|
EEPROM. From now on all write functions are done with serial EEPROM and no longer
|
|
to virtual EEPROM. You can see if at menu item #199 serial EEPROM is written in
|
|
green letters. If so, it is in use. If it is in red letters, fitted serial EEPROM do
|
|
not have enough memory for storing settings.
|
|
It is important that EEPRM is brand-new or if not it is written 0xFF to all
|
|
cells before you solder it. Autodetection depends on a completely "empty" device!
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151115 [DF8OE]
|
|
- I named this back-rolled version for continuity to 0.219.26.6
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151111 [DF8OE]
|
|
- added menu "190" hardware-info
|
|
- beginning of EEPROM including (it is detected if present but not used in this version)
|
|
|
|
##################
|
|
20151111 Version 0.219.26.5 [KA7OEI]
|
|
- Fixed problem with 2.3k filter adjustment not being possible except in FM.
|
|
- Code cleanup to fix some warnings/function definitions.
|
|
##################
|
|
Comment DF8OE:
|
|
I reverted this because of some heavy problems
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151103 Version 0.219.26.4 [KA7OEI]
|
|
- Increased size of 60 meters to accommodate some EU frequency useages
|
|
- Added function to reset frequencies/modes to default: Press-and-hold F2 and F4 during power-up
|
|
- Added adjustment menu item "MemFreq Lim Disable". When "ON", there are no limits imposed on
|
|
frequency bands that may be stored in each "band-memory" location. WARNING: This can cause bands to be
|
|
stored in random order and also make it easier to put different bands in VFO-A versus VFO-B which can
|
|
cause relay-switching/timing issues!
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151101 Version 0.219.26.3 [KA7OEI]
|
|
- Rewrote "AGC" handler for FM mode to reduce processing overhead when in FM. The AGC does
|
|
not actually function in FM (there is no need for it!) but the value is calculated only to drive
|
|
the S-meter. (In 0.219.26.0-2 the S meter did not work in FM.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151030 Version 0.219.26.2 [KA7OEI]
|
|
- Fixed problem with change detection of "Minor" version
|
|
|
|
|
|
20151029 Version 0.219.26.1 [KA7OEI]
|
|
- Fixed problem with key beep on/off
|
|
- Fixed TUNE in CW mode
|
|
- Added support for change detection of "Minor" version (e.g. "219", above)
|
|
|
|
|
|
10/28/2015 Version 0.0.219.26 [KA7OEI]
|
|
- Added "Load Defaults" obtained by holding F1, F3 AND F5 on power-up. Once unit has
|
|
powered up, the user would DISCONNECT power to preserve the OLD settings or PRESS-AND-HOLD the
|
|
POWER button to save the new (default) settings to EEPROM and power down. The unit halts on this
|
|
screen indefinitely. Some defaults changes to be more useful.
|
|
- Added "button test" function where pressing-holding any button (other than power) during power-up will
|
|
display the button being being pressed (or the one with highest precedence if multiple) and the number
|
|
of buttons being pressed.
|
|
- Problem in which "PREV" and "NEXT" buttons on menu could skip last screen of "Configuration"
|
|
menu has been fixed.
|
|
- Fixed problem in which line under screen that indicates bandwidth/settings did not change under some
|
|
conditions (e.g. switching from one band to another where the same filter/settings were used, but
|
|
a different sideband was used). Added "unconditional" update of this line when changing bands.
|
|
- Added "INVGray" and "Blue" waterfall palettes.
|
|
- Streamlined code related to DSP NR and Notch.
|
|
- Added keyboard beep.
|
|
- Completely rewrote AM demodulation to reduce CPU loading.
|
|
- Fixed problem (from 0.0.219.24) in which there were dead spots in Si570 tuning (incorrect FDCO Min/
|
|
max values).
|
|
- Added function where pressing-holding G3 will generate sidetone equivalent to CW offset, used for
|
|
"Spotting", in CW/LSB/USB modes/
|
|
- Added FM modulation/demodulation with squelch, subaudible tone encode/decode and tone burst.
|
|
|
|
- The following files have been added (I hope that I have them all here!):
|
|
|
|
FILTERS: iir_15k_hpf_fm_squelch.h - Filter for squelch noise detection
|
|
iir_2k7_tx_bpf_fm.h - Filter for FM transmit audio
|
|
|
|
AUDIO: fm_dds_table.h - DDS/NCO lookup table for FM/Subtone/Burst generation
|
|
fm_subaudible_tone_table.h - List of subaudible tones for encode/decode
|
|
|
|
