I connected Pins 4 & 8 Via the supplied 680 Ohm resistor. I applied power to the tracker and the LED flashed once. I also have a jumper form Pin 8 to Pin 9. Am...
First, what board revision do you have? Is it a black rev 3 board, or a red rev 4 board? The single blink is fine. You'll need to start the config program to...
Wa6mha-2 shows TinyTrack3 v1.1 under status. I have both a TT3 and an Open Tracker 4 (from Dayton). I first used the TT3 and then went to the OT4 to test them...
FindU will record the last status text it saw from that callsign. You can overwrite that by setting the OpenTracker to send its comments in a status packet,...
Thanks, I was afraid I might have poineered a new way to let the smoke out of the chip without actually seeing it leave! If I understand the manual correctly,...
You don't need to check that option at startup. If you do, you won't get the web menu - I still need to fix that. Just start it normally, click 'web', select...
Disregard the last question. I see the option on the menu no. You can DL form WEB or File depending on Which Button you select... DUH! 73, Dave ... won't get ...
Two steps forward and one step back. #1.. I managed to get the tracker HW conversion complete. I loaded the one wire firmware without problem. HOWEVVVVER......
I don't think you mentioned which board revision you have. If it's rev 4, the 1-wire mod in the rev 3 manual won't work and could cause a lockup. You could...
Sorry, It's Rev 4 (Red). The WX conversion instructions I have are illustrated on the Rev 3 (Black) board. I deduced that the since the jumper wire wasn't in...
Very possibly toast - I wasn't thinking about the 1-wire mod when I changed the jumper layout in rev 4. I'll have to modify the manual to reflect that. Send...
I ran the Diagnostics in the manual. I'll put the results in the photos area. I may have killed more than just the chip. Here are the non-conforming test...
Yeah, it's definitely smoked. Send it in and I'll repair or replace it. Or maybe use you as a guinea pig for a new board revision I'm working on, if you...
Scott, what I enjoyed in this thread: - Dave's honesty to admit that he smoked it and not tried to turn it into a "warranty repair" - the way you handle things...
Details sent off-list. And I'm doing my best to further idiot proof new versions, but there's only so much room to cram over-voltage, over-current, and RFI...
Is shouldn't be normal behavior, should it? I have my OT2 hooked up to UIView running in KISS mode. I looked on findu, and see that both the OT2 and UIView...
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking it did. IRQ can tolerate at least 9 volts - that's how you force it into programming mode. 12 would probably kill it, though. ...
Firmware build 53890 is now available for download. This version features a complete rewrite of the FSK modulator code. It's a bit more compact and should...
... So what setting on the slider corresponds to the output level in previous revisions? -- Jim Shorney -->.<--Put complaints in this box jshorney (at)...
I assume that there will be a way to force the open tracker to send the mark and space tones so that when the slider is adjusted, the modulation of the radio...
I have my Open Tracker connected to the MIC input of an IC 229H. I have the deviation set at 3KHz peak. It has been a while since I have operated on VHF...
... Are you on the Tracker2 mailing list? At least while it's still in beta I'm keeping most of the discussion over there. ... I thought I fixed all of the...
Scott, Is the latest firmware (Build 53890) source available though Sourceforge? The files in the CVS repository firmware/ appear to be out of date. Thanks, ...
