LATEST Sketches and Libraries

Here is the latest update of my sketches and libraries.

IMPORTANT

Previous sketches have output HIGH/LOW signals on a one connection on the 4-way jack on the VFO hardware. This signal was coded from D12 to switch the first PA I made from RX (HIGH) to TX (LOW).
The new sketches output active LOW codes on two pins of the 4-way jack, with Arduino UNO connections body=GND, ring=D12, ring=D13, tip=+5V.

These connections were chosen to also support a GPS receiver connection to the box.

For the PA-2 switching D12 is used as the LSB and D13 as the MSB of a two bit binary code. This code is then used as,

HH = RX

HL = TX 40m LPF

LH = TX 30m LPF

LL = TX 20m LPF

The codes are used to switch the three LPFs in the PA-2. And also to switch the Antenna connection from RX to TX.
