New in the version 3.2


Packages
1. Fixed bug with continuous data transfer to the display.
No packages published
2. Added new feature to disable all relays along with the timer display. New
cell 35(33 for mini board) - 01 to activate the relay off function. Display Off
Timer setup - cell 32 (30 for mini board). You can use this feature in your
Languages
QRP setup where power consumption is critical.
3. Timeout

C 40.2% resetC++
increased
7.2% to 2 seconds. This is required for some
OLED displays with a very long RC chain on the reset pin.

New in the version 3.1


The fider loss value now is zero by default, the tuner board shows mismatch
loss only. To install your actual fider loss, power on the board with pushed TUNE
button, use BYP and AUTO buttons to set needed value. The value will be saved
immediatelly in the long-term memory (0x34 cell for extended board or 0x32
cell for mini boards).

Some errors were fixed.

Overload indication is fixed. It works when the input power exceeds the board
possibility to meassure correct power.

How to rebuild a 100 Watt board to reliable work


with QRP 1 - 5 Watt power, by ik3ssg (VIDEO)

New in the version 3.0


Added the ability to turn off the display backlight by timer and indication of the
power delivered to the antenna and the transmitter efficiency. These sells were
added in 3.0 firmware for EXT board :

31 - cell for setting a ratio of turns of the tandem match on which depends the
upper limit of the measured power. The default value is 10, which corresponds
to a maximum measured power of about 150 watts. To be able to measure
power up to 1500 watts, you should use the high power indication mode and a
tandem match with a ratio of 1 to 32. If the power does not exceed 40 watts, it
makes sense to use a tandem-match with a ratio of 1: 5 turns, which will allow
to work better with a minimum power of 1-5 watts. For other power values, the
ratio of turns should be calculated so that the voltage at the measuring inputs
of the microprocessor at maximum power does not exceed 4.096 Volts for the
PIC16F1938 processor and 5.0 Volts for the PIC18F2520 processor.

32 – sell for setting the time of glow dysplay or its backlite, in seconds . The
backlite is glowing whilw press any buttons and if RF power comes to input.П By
default it is disabled, value 00.

33 — cell for setting of an addidional indication mode, value 00 — for indicating


L and C only. Value 01 — for indicating the power delivered to the antenna and
efficiency of fider and transmitter пwhen input power is enough for correct SWR
meassuring. By default is enable, value 01.

Warning!!! The device does not take into account its own efficiency.

34 — cell for setting a feeder power loss ratio, the first number — integer part
of decibell, second number — ten’s parts of decibell. Velue by default — 1.2 (12
writen in the cell). this value uses for counting the power delivered to antenna.
The loss value can be found in the reference data for the used cable or you can
measure the exact value yourself. If it is not necessary to take into account
feeder losses, the value 00 should be written into the cell, then the calculations
will correspond only to the mismatch losses.

For mini board : 0A - cell for setting a ratio of turns of the tandem match on
which depends the upper limit of the measured power . The default value is 10,
which corresponds to a maximum measured power of about 150 watts. If the
power does not exceed 40 watts, it makes sense to use a tandem-match with a
ratio of 1:5 turns, which will allow to work better with a minimum power of 1 -5
watts. For other power values, the ratio of turns should be calculated so that
the voltage at the measuring inputs of the microprocessor at maximum power
does not exceed 4.096 Volts for the PIC16F1938 processor and 5.0 Volts for the
PIC18F2520 processor.
