Interface between an Icom AT-130 and a Codan Radio
So I only need to build a single interface for my VX-1700, I'm standardising on the Codan 9350 signalling. This means I need to convert the signalling from my AT-130 into the same format that Codan use.
This has a side benefit - I'll be able to use my AT-130 directly with an old Codan radio I have. Neat.
Hardware
This is designed in Upverter - feel free to fork the project if you like. The link is here: Upverter Project
IO
From the Codan radio:
- TUNE = Input and output (normally pulled to +5 from the Codan)
- IND = Input to the radio (normally pulled to +5 from the Codan)
From the AT-130
- Start = Start tuning (normally pulled to +5v from the AT-130)
- Key = Send CW to me please (open collector, using the internal weak pullup resistor)
Software
Software is in the repo - it works but needs some enhancements:
- Add some kind of timer/counter while in a tuning cycle - if it takes more than 10 seconds, stop trying and indicate a fault to the Codan
- Remove the debugging serial stuff
- Add better signals on the LED to indicate pass/fail conditions
- Change the pin numbers in the #define statements to suit the ATTINY85
