2nd lot - CentSDR (4): VCTCXO has been attached.


26MHz VCTCXO has been soldering. The board shows U3 for VCTCXO. The manual should be correct with U3 since it is U7.

The output of VCTCXO has been checked with 26MHz and approximately 0.8Vp-p.

2nd lot - CentSDR (3): First soldiering and got 3.3V

My building process is very slow since there were other things which should be progressed.

The first soldering has been done. USB connector, switch, U9 and D4 have been attached to the board. USB connector should be carefully soldered since the connector needs to be attached to the board with the bottom face. It's most difficult part of the soldering in the kit assembly.



After this soldering process is finished, the USB power (5V) should be supplied with the USB connector. Once the power switch is moved to "On" side, 3.3V should be generated after the U9. This 3.3V power will be supplied to all parts in CentSDR. Thus the first test to get 3.3V is critical to go further steps.

2nd lot - CentSDR (2): Additional parts have been collected.

As the posted message describes three additional parts for 2nd lot of the kit. They have been collected today.

The LCD display - "2.2" inch TFT LCD Display SPI ILI9341 240x320 for 51/AVR/STM32/ARM/PIC Arduino" was ordered via eBay. It takes 1 week to receive the LCD display.

There is the assembly document for the kit. It is written in Japanese. As the international order is accepted, the English version might be prepared.




STM32 F303CBT6 is CPU to manage all processes and TLV320 AIC3204 is I2S codec to make the audio output from IQ signal. Those parts should be attached to the board.
