Firmware für den FA-NWT und HFM9

Beschreibung der Anschaltung des FA-Dämpfungsgliedes (Hochgeladen 23.01.08)

Variante 1

This variant is for the FA-NWT direct DDS-clock supply of 400MHz. In the earlier HW to recognize the built-helix filter. The new FA-NWT are all direct DDS-clock supply of 400MHz and also covers all of the Variante 1. All other NWT as the HFM9 direct DDS-clock supply of 400MHz also fall under this variant.

Diese Variante ist für den FA-NWT mit direkter DDS-Takteinspeisung von 400MHz. Bei der älteren HW zu erkennen am eingebauten Helixfilter. Die neuen FA-NWT sind alle mit direkter DDS-Takteinspeisung von 400MHz und fallen auch alle unter der Variante 1. Alle anderen NWT wie der HFM9 mit direkter DDS-Takteinspeisung von 400MHz fallen auch unter diese Variante.

Version 1.20 Variante 1 als FW-Update (Hochgeladen 24.04.12)
Version 1.19 Variante 1 als FW-Update (Hochgeladen 28.04.09)

Wichtiger Hinweis: Die Software unterliegt der GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. Die Software funktioniert nur einwandfrei im Zusammenspiel mit der von mir entwickelten Firmware in den verschiedenen NWTs. Ich übernehmen keinerlei Haftung über auftretende Mängel oder Schäden!

Die Software wird nicht weiter entwickelt!!!

Erweiterung zum Audio-NF-Wobbeln und Pegelmessungen. Das funktioniert nur mit der neuen FW 1.20. Ein Beitrag dazu erscheint ist in der Zeitschrift Funkamateur. erschienen.

Das Wattmeter funktioniert jetzt mit FW1.19 und FW1.20. Wird die FW 1.20 benutzt muss das Wattmeter neu kalibriert werden, da beim Wattmeter eine Messung aus dem Mittelwert von 32 Einzelmessungen berechnet wird.

The BG7TBL USB RF Signal Generator is a PC-based function generator. It has no external controls, requiring a USB connection to a computer.

Software to run this hardware can be found here http://www.dl4jal.eu/.

This device can be bought on ebay for ca $65. Search for "138MHz-4.4GHz". There is a version with the ADF4351 instead that will give you more range (35MHz-4.4GHz).

Hardware

• Microcontroller: Atmel Atmega 8L
• Wideband Synthesizer: ADF4350
• USB to Serial: FTDI FT232RL
• Logarithmic Amplifier AD8307
• Mixer: IAM 81008
• LDO: AMS1117

Protocol

Baud 57600, 8n1

The protocol is binary serial based.

Query firmware

• Send 0x8f+"v"

The answer should be in hex:

• 77

Where the returned byte is the firmware version, 0x77 = 119.

Signal generator

Setting frequency

To set a frequency send:

• 0x8f

Then f and then the frequency divided by 10 with leading zeroes. For example this is the payload for 400MHz.

• 400 000 000 / 10
• f040000000

Spectrum analyzer

The protocol is briefly described in the source code here:

https://github.com/DoYouKnow/BG7TBL_Reader

BG7TBL_Reader

Read data from a BG7TBL Simple spectrum analyzer device

This program will read data from a BG7TBL and plot its fft and a scrolling spectrogram. In Linux Mint, you can open the fig.jpg file while it is running, so that the environment gets notified of the changes. Other linuxes probably have similar behavior.

The default configuration is to plot the wifi band (2.4 GHz). You can change the start frequency and the other fields in the source file, but keep in mind the length of each field in ascii digits after the comment symbol.

All frequencies are multiplied by 10 behind the device. So, if you want to enter 1 GHz, enter 100,000,000 (without the commas) - which basically means 100 MHz. This is due to the internal frequency scaler.

If you want to enter 200 MHz, enter 020,000,000 (without the commas), or "020000000" in the freq field.

I designed this based on the BG7TBL Simple spectrum analyzer with range 138MHz-4.4 GHz, but devices based on the same software should work.

The step is configurable, and when finding the maximum frequency, the multiplication of the step by the number of samples is done. This must be multiplied by 10 (all frequencies are basically 10 times higher than what you input on the device), and added to the initial frequency int(freq) to get the maximum frequency.

xvfb-run is needed if you don't have access to an x-server, since I presently using some pylab routines in the source code, which is part of matplotlib.

--include doesn't work yet (panning feature)
