Hello Group,
finished my hilltopper 20. But on first pwr up, blew the two (C29,C30) 100mf caps!
I replaced the caps, and the AtMega328 and the SE55? audio chip, but really can
hear no signals on the receiver. The unit seems to function, beeps freq, and transmits file.
Transmitted using a 20 m 1/2w dipole. The xmit sig sounds file a few hundred feet away.

But sadly the receiver seems not to work well. Are there any other parts that
you can suggest changing?

Thanks

Chas,

 I am trying to program the new one up and keep getting errors in relation to the si5351 which lib and version should I be using?

Below is the error

Thanks for your help.
Today, I was back on my workbench with three new ATMEGAs ordered last week.
With the new chips, the frequency is now at 7,030 MHz.
I think that the old ATMEGA was somehow wrong.
Now all works fine.
Thanks again and best 73

Hello group,

I had the Hilltopper-40_V2.0 firmware loaded on a second ATMEGA chip to experiment with my HT 40m. In TX or Calibration mode, the output frequency is 7.580 MHz, not the expected 7.030 MHz.
It is the original file that was downloaded here.

I can not find my mistake.

The original ATMEGA delivered with the kit ,works fine.

Can someone check that?

Many Thanks,

Martin DH3FR

Hey guys had to share this.

STL files will be uploaded (work in progress) open for all to use just share any changes.

I trimmed the I2C interface right down to the lcd, no header, I also removed the back light jumper and bridged it.

Some notes on the STL:

Done with tinkercad

uses stock screws spacing is a hair tight and may need to use a razor to bring it in (always better to have to much, hard to add it back).

LCD opening was left with no screw holes to open all options of mounting.

LCD opening is also a little tight to make up for vari in screens again going with more it better.

I got a nice fit and used the screen to make holes for screws, it was a tight fit but I didn't want to add more than was needed.

Thanks Dave, N1SWL and NK8O,

It's not pretty but it does the job.
